Q1 · Stye
EasyExplanation
A hordeolum externum (stye) is an acute staphylococcal infection of an eyelash follicle and its associated glands, causing a painful lid-margin swelling. Warm compresses usually suffice; a chalazion, by contrast, is a painless chronic meibomian cyst.
Q2 · Chalazion
EasyExplanation
A chalazion is a painless, firm granulomatous swelling from a blocked meibomian gland. It is typically chronic and may need incision and curettage if it does not resolve, unlike the acute painful stye.
Q3 · Entropion and Ectropion
MediumExplanation
Entropion is inward turning of the lid margin, so the lashes abrade the cornea (trichiasis), risking ulceration. Ectropion is outward turning of the lid, causing exposure and watering. Both are more common with age.
Q4 · Dacryocystitis
MediumExplanation
Dacryocystitis is infection of the lacrimal (tear) sac, presenting with a painful swelling below the medial canthus and epiphora, or watering, often from nasolacrimal duct obstruction. Treatment is antibiotics, with dacryocystorhinostomy for recurrent cases.

Answer first, then read the explanation even on the ones you got right — the reasoning is where Lids and Lacrimal System marks are actually won, and it is what separates a recalled fact from a question you can solve in a new form. Once the Easy set feels comfortable, filter to Hard to find the gaps Ophthalmology examiners keep returning to.
