Stye (Hordeolum): A Painful Eyelid Infection •Stye is a common eyelid condition caused by a bacterial infection of the oil glands near the eyelashes, leading to a red, swollen, and painful lump on the eyelid. •It may resemble a small pimple and is often associated with tenderness, watering of the eyes, and discomfort while blinking.• Styes are usually caused by poor eyelid hygiene, frequent eye rubbing, or contamination from makeup or unclean hands. •While most styes resolve on their own within a few days, applying warm compresses can help speed up healing and reduce pain. •At Paavai Eye & Skin Care Hospital, Salem, our specialists provide proper evaluation and treatment, including medications if needed, to prevent complications or recurrence. •Maintaining good eye hygiene and avoiding touching the eyes unnecessarily are key to preventing styes. #Stye #EyeCare #HealthyVision #PaavaiEyeCare 👁️✨
