👉 In the context of medicine, a "tomistoma" is a condition that refers to an abnormal enlargement or swelling of the eyelid due to an infection. This can occur in various parts of the eyelid and can include the outer corner of the eye, the inner corner, or both. Symptoms may include redness, pain, irritation, and sometimes even discharge from the eye. A doctor who treats a tomistoma will likely perform a clinical examination to determine the cause and recommend appropriate treatment
