A stye (or sty) is an acute infection of the secretory glands of the eyelids. Frequently, bacteria can enter and infect an eyelid oil gland, which are present in both the upper and lower eyelids, causing inflammation, pain, and redness of the eyelid, and even redness of the surrounding eyelid and cheek tissue. The medical term for stye is hordeolum.
WHAT'S A STYE ANYWAY. A stye or sty, medical term hordeolum, is an inflamed swelling that occurs at the edge of an eyelid. Styes first appear as a red painful swelling, and in time, resemble a pimple. Styes are caused by bacterial infection of an oil gland at the base of an eyelash. Styes develop when an abundance of staphylococcus bacteria enters an oil gland and causes infection. The infected gland then becomes clogged with a buildup of white blood cells, water and other fluids. Chalazions are similar to a stye.
