Stye

A stye is an inflammatory condition of the eyelid associated with a small collection of pus.

What is Stye?

A stye is a reddish lump on the outer edge of your eyelid. It’s filled with pus and inflammatory cells produced when a clogged gland or follicle becomes infected. It’s tender to the touch and can be very painful.

Causes of Stye:

Most styes are caused by Staphylococcus, a type of bacteria that live on your skin and are normally harmless. When the bacteria are transferred to your eye and become trapped in a gland or hair follicle, they cause an infection. Eye infections are frequently caused by improper care or use of contact lenses. Behaviors that increase your risk of a contact lens-related infection include:

improperly cleaned contacts
touching contacts before washing your hands
wearing contacts while sleeping
reusing disposable contacts
using contacts after they’ve expired

Signs and Symptoms:

Painful red bump along the edge of the upper or lower eyelid near the base of the eyelashes
Swelling of the eyelid (sometimes the entire eyelid)
Crusting along the eyelid
Sensitivity to bright light
Sore, scratchy eye
Tearing of the eye
A feeling that there is something in the eye
