Can you get air under your eyelid?
Normal pockets of air under the eyelids have not been previously described in the literature. To assess the incidence and patterns of normal air bubbles in the region of the eyelid, computed tomography (CT) scans of 126 normal orbits and 36 orbits of patients with thyroid orbitopathy were assessed.
Do I have a stye or chalazion?
A chalazion appears on the eyelid and usually is firmer than a stye. A stye will develop on the base of your eyelashes or inside your eyelid. An external stye tends to look more like a pimple. Both a chalazion and a stye can be red and swollen.
Can air get behind eyes?
Because our eyes and nose are connected (this is why you get a runny nose from crying), air can enter the eye’s lacrimal sac through the duct that connects it to the nose. While not as off-putting as so-called eye boogers or painful like a scratched cornea, squeaking eyes might cause concern.
Will chalazion go away on its own?
A chalazion will often go away without treatment in a month or so. The first treatment is to place warm compresses over the eyelid for 10 to 15 minutes at least four times a day. Use lukewarm water (no hotter than you can leave your hand in comfortably).
How do you get rid of a chalazion?

Why does it feel like there’s an air bubble under my eyelid?
