Eye Stye

A stye (hordelum) is a lump that appears on either the inside of outside of your eyelid. The lump is usually relatively small, painful and may be filled with pus. It might look like a pimple. A small stye may go on to become a larger swelling/infection called a chalazion.

They can be sore, itchy, crusty, swollen, red and, in the case of larger styes, painful or uncomfortable. Styes inside the eyelid tend to be a lot more painful.

They usually only affect one eye, and while the eye itself will often be bloodshot, sore and watery, in the vast majority of cases you’ll still be able to see.
