This affection of the supraorbital branch of the fifth cranial nerve may extend to the eyelids. It may not go beyond the stage of blistering and redness with some edema. However, it is possible for it to become gangrenous and even extend to the conjunctiva and cornea. I had one case of herpes zoster gangrenosa of this region. There were several gangrenous spots as large as a dime on the forehead and extending down in the region of the eyelid. The process extended to some extent on the cornea and in healing left a condition of irregular astigmatism. =Treatment.=—The prognosis in herpes zoster is always favorable under osteopathic treatment. Lesions of the cervical region will almost invariably be found interfering with the sympathetic connections of the fifth cranial nerve causing the trophic disturbance to the region. Osteopathic treatment applied to these conditions will always hasten normalization. The affected part might be kept covered with some soothing lotion to keep the skin soft. Hordeolum This is commonly known as a =sty=. It is due to suppuration of the =glands of Zeiss=. It is a harmless affection but causes pain and inconvenience. =Diagnosis.=—Swelling and pain with a small inflammed nodule in the palpebral margin is quite diagnostic. =Treatment.=—The circulation is obstructed in this region. The effort should be made to open the circulation before pus has formed. This can frequently be done and the hordeolum aborted by carefully picking up the eyelid and rolling the nodule between the fingers. This will cause some pain but if it is kept up for a moment or two about every hour through the day with an occasional thorough treatment of the neck the sty will usually be aborted. If pus forms it should be opened as soon as it points and then the squeezing and rolling process may be employed again, which will aid rapidly in the freeing of the circulation. Chalazion This is a =Meibomian cyst= in the eyelid. It shows as a circumscribed swelling on the inner side of the lid. It frequently becomes large enough to produce some deformity of the lid. A chalazion is movable on the tarsal cartilage. It is a chronic condition and the cyst may become as large as a bean. There may be more than one in the same lid. =Treatment.=—When a chalazion is small and not of long standing it can frequently be cured by osteopathic treatment. Introduce the finger into the conjunctival sac under the lid, and with the thumb externally, grasp the chalazion between the finger and thumb; roll it thoroughly. Squeeze and massage it two or three times a week for awhile. This, combined with a thorough treatment of the neck, will result in a cure. If at the end of six weeks the condition has not disappeared surgery should be resorted to. Blepharitis
