What is a stye:
A stye develops when an oil gland at the edge of an eyelid becomes infected. Resembling a pimple on the eyelid, a stye can grow on the inside or outside of the lid.
Signs and symptoms:
First signs are pain, redness, swelling and tenderness usually near the edge of eyelid. Developing into a small pimple in the affected area.
Causes:
Styes are caused by a bacteria found on the skin or in the nose and is transferred to the oil glands in the eyelids when rubbing eyes.
Treatment:
Most styes don’t require professional medical care. Hot compresses such as StyeAway™ help to ease soreness by liquefying solid waste products of infection and drawing the pus to a head. Lubricant eye ointments may also help relieve symptoms.
Prevention:
Practicing good lid hygiene is the best way to prevent styes.
