Kiris: local notes for stye
In Kiris the typical health problems come from too much sun, too little water and food that has sat out in the heat. Close by are Goynuk, Beldibi, Old Town, which share the same medical services. On beach holidays, heat, sun and swimming can aggravate many conditions, so rest, drink water and tell the doctor what you have been doing.
Why stye happens
A bacterial blockage of an eyelid gland is the cause, commonly following rubbing the eyes with dirty hands, or from out-of-date cosmetics or contact lenses.
