Stye explained
An infected oil gland or lash follicle produces a stye: a small, sore, red lump on the lid margin.
What can cause stye

Preventing 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 doctor can look at photos, confirm it is a stye, advise on care and prescribe an antibiotic ointment if suitable. Typical choices are warm compresses and, where needed, antibiotic ointment.
- Wash hands before touching the eye
- Avoid eye make-up and contact lenses until it heals
