What is a style (Hordeolum)?

Stye is a pimple or an abscess that forms on the upper or lower eyelid. Sometimes the bacteria that normally live on the surface of your eyelid block an oil duct and it gets inflamed, or sometimes, germs and dead skin cells get trapped on the edge of your eyelid and the eyelid gets painfully swollen with a small collection of pus. In most cases, the cause of the infection is the Staphylococcus bacteria.

What is a Chalazion?

Sometimes, if the clogged gland that has caused stye, never gets cured, then there is a formation of hard scar tissues around it, the bursting pain goes away but a bump remains

What are types of styes?

1. External stye: Usually the styes emerge along the outer edge of the eyelid, here inside the painful stye, the yellow pus is visible. As time passes, the pus is discharged and swelling goes away.

A few factors that cause external stye are:

• Eyelash follicle infection: When there is an infection in the small holes of the skin of the edges of eyes, from which the eyelashes grow, stye develops.
• Sebaceous gland infection: When the sebaceous (sebum producing) gland attached to the eyelash follicle gets an infection, the stye develops.
• Apocrine gland infection: When the apocrine gland (Sweat gland that empties into the eyelash follicle) gets infected, the stye develops.

2. Internal stye: Usually they develop inside the eyelids and are more painful than an external stye. The most common cause of developing internal stye is an infection of the meibomian gland (that secretes the film-like coating to cover the whole eye.

What causes stye?

Usually, people in the adolescence age group commonly develop styes, but it may be seen in people of any age/ gender/ race/ religion.

• Not disinfect the contact lenses before putting them in your eyes.
• Changing contact lens without thorough handwash.
• Improper removal of eye make-up before going to bed.
• Lack of nutrition.

• compress held gently against the eye helps to ease symptoms and release pus more readily. The water that is used for hot fomentation should not be too hot. If applying the compress to someone else, a person should take special care to avoid it being too hot or applying too much pressure.

A person should hold the compress against the eye for 10–15 minutes, three or four times each day.
