Overview

Eyes enable you to see each and every creation of the God. These beautiful eyes express your inner world.

An eye has eyeball and two eyelids. Three types of glands are present in eyelids.

  1. Sweat glands at the margin of eyelids called Glands of Moll
  2. Sebaceous glands called as glands of Zei’s
  3. Sebaceous glands in deeper layer are called as Meibomian glands

Sweat glands and sebaceous glands are superficial and prone to infection. The blockage of duct due to staphylococcus infection results in swelling of the glands in eye lids called stye (hordeolum). A person with low immunity and poor hygiene gets the attacks of bacteria frequently and the stye (Hordeolum) often repeats and develops tendencies.

Symptoms of Stye

A red painful edematous swelling on the edge of eyelid is seen, which lasts for a week or two. Usually a small one grows slowly and becomes hard and ends as an eruption. White or yellow tip at the top of it becomes visible and evacuates the pus, results in healing. The pus point appears mostly along the edge of the eyelid. Watery secretions come out of the eyes due to irritation. Blurred vision is there for a short duration. Stye never damages the eye.
