A stye is an inflamed and painful swelling that occurs around the eyelid. So, how does a stye heal? What are the symptoms of stye?
Styes develop as a result of infection of the sebaceous glands in the eyelid or the eyelash root. The infection is usually caused by staphylococcal bacteria. This infection can develop when unclean hands are brought to the eye area, or when hygiene is not observed when using contact lenses or cosmetic products. It is a common eye infection and can occur at any age. Stye may recur several times during a person’s life.
What are the types of stye?
Stye types; It is divided into two as internal and external stye. Internal ones occur on the upper part of the lid and external ones occur at the base of the eyelash. External styes, which are much more common than internal styes, usually start in the eyelash follicle, sometimes in a sebaceous gland. Most internal styes start in a sebaceous (meibomian) gland in the eyelid tissue. They tend to be more painful than external styes, straining the eye as they grow.
What are the symptoms of a stye?
A stye is an infection with very characteristic symptoms. It is characterized by a red, pimple-like, painful swelling on the eyelid. It causes pain, swelling and watery eyes around the eye and eyelid. There may be a white spot in the center of the bump that looks like pus, and it can also cause swelling of the entire eyelid. A stye usually affects only one eye. However, it is also possible to have more than one stye in one eye at the same time. Styes are one of the most common eye infections. It can sometimes be confused with other infections that have similar symptoms but do not cause as much pain as styes. Chalazion, which appears as a redness and lump on the eyelid, is one of these. A chalazion usually appears as a lump that does not cause pain. It is firm when pressed. It is caused by blockage of the sebaceous glands at the base of the eyelashes and, unlike stye, usually develops on the inside of the eyelid. Although chalazion and stye have different causes, they are usually treated in a similar way. Other common eye infections are blepharitis and conjunctivitis. Blepharitis or conjunctivitis should be suspected if there is redness in the eye, but no pus-filled swelling and watery eyes. Blepharitis is a condition that occurs at the base of the eyelashes. Conjunctivitis is an eye infection that can be bacterial or viral.
How is a stye treated?
Stye is a common infection and most of the time it disappears on its own. When you feel a stye coming out or notice swelling in the area, compressing the area with a warm and damp cloth can speed up the healing process and reduce sensitivity and pain in the area. It is sufficient to apply this compress for 5-10 minutes several times a day as long as the stye persists. Painkillers can also be used to relieve pain. However, if the stye does not improve within 48 hours, if the redness and swelling spreads to the entire eyelid and cheek area, or if vision is impaired, it is worth seeing a doctor. In such cases, antibiotics may be prescribed or surgery may be performed to drain the pus from the stye. When a stye develops, it is important to avoid putting your hands to your eyes and to stop wearing contact lenses. The bump may look like a pimple, but it should not be squeezed thinking that it will heal easily. Because it may cause the infection to spread.
The following methods can be applied to heal the stye faster and prevent the infection from spreading:
How long does it take for a stye to heal?
Even if the stye goes away on its own, it is more likely to remain in the form of a chalazion. Although the stye is self-limiting, the risk of cyst formation increases when left untreated. The average infection state of the stye lasts about a week. With treatment, the signs of infection improve in a week. The earlier treatment is started for a stye, the greater the chance of healing without scarring and the lower the risk of chalazion.
Is stye contagious?
One of the most curious issues about this disease is whether it is contagious or not. However, it is possible to say that stye disease is not contagious in any way. Because it is a self-limiting form of infection. In other words, it only enlarges itself significantly in terms of the area where it is located. Apart from that, it does not infect other parts of the body or infect any person in different ways. Stye disease is not transmitted to another person in any way. In other words, even if many different methods are handled together with contact or airway, it is not a disease that is transmitted to anyone else in any way.
What happens if stye is not treated?
If the stye is left untreated, the possibility of chalazion increases. In very rare cases, trying to squeeze out the stye and doing the wrong things to the eye can lead to excessive swelling of the eyelid (preseptal cellulitis). This is especially risky in children. Because infections in the facial area of children can spread to the brain. For this reason, inflammation of the eyelids should be taken very seriously.
Factors that increase the risk of stye
Inadequate lid hygiene: Children in particular do not wash their hands and face and do not sterilize the base of their eyelashes well
Presence of diseases such as biliopharyngitis: Presence of other valve diseases that cause styes, such as biliopharyngitis
Contact lens hygiene: Contact lens wearers putting in and taking out their lenses without disinfecting them thoroughly or washing their hands first
Sleeping without removing makeup: Leaving eye makeup on overnight without removing it
Skin disorders: Having rosacea, a skin condition characterized by facial redness
What can be done to prevent styes?

Photochromic lenses stand out as a technological solution for the eyes in these days of intense changes in daylight and light changes from outdoor to indoor environments. Developed to quickly adapt to changing light and environmental conditions, Seiko Sensity 2 photochromic lenses improve vision performance and reduce eye contractions and related eye fatigue. Ultraviolet rays negatively affect eye health, even though their seasonal effects change. Especially in the summer months, the amount of ultraviolet rays is much higher, so it is extremely important to protect the eyes. Light reflections from various surfaces, changes in the intensity of light in different environments make it difficult for the eyes to adapt and cause excessive fatigue. Since the harmful effects of ultraviolet rays have the ability to accumulate over the years, it is important for eye health to be protected from these rays in all seasons and around the clock. Sensity 2, the technological product of Seiko Optik, which focuses on changing needs, adapts quickly to all light and environmental conditions; regardless of temperature, humidity or UV levels, it precisely adjusts the color tone of the lens thanks to its stabilization technology, Stabilight. Seiko Sensity 2 photochromic lenses darken in daylight and lighten indoors, providing functional and comfortable wear.
