What is stye?
A stye is a small, tender red bump on the edge of the eyelid that forms when an oil gland or eyelash follicle becomes infected.
Causes and risk factors
A bacterial blockage of an eyelid gland is the cause, commonly following rubbing the eyes with dirty hands, or from out-of-date cosmetics or contact lenses.
How to lower your risk of stye
Wash hands before touching your eyes, remove make-up every night, replace old eye make-up and keep contact lenses clean.
Care and treatment for stye
The physician can look at photos, confirm it is a stye, advise on care and prescribe an antibiotic ointment if appropriate. Options may include warm compresses and, where needed, antibiotic ointment.
- Avoid eye make-up and contact lenses until it heals
- Wash hands before touching the eye
- Apply a warm compress for 10 minutes several times a day
