About statistics:

This page presents a variety of statistics about Chalazion. The term 'prevalence' of Chalazion usually refers to the estimated population of people who are managing Chalazion at any given time. The term 'incidence' of Chalazion refers to the annual diagnosis rate, or the number of new cases of Chalazion diagnosed each year. Hence, these two statistics types can differ: a short-lived disease like flu can have high annual incidence but low prevalence, but a life-long disease like diabetes has a low annual incidence but high prevalence.
