About Hordeolum, the broader condition
This overview covers Hordeolum in general, not Hordeolum (Stye) specifically.
A hordeolum, more commonly known as a stye, is a common and often painful eye condition caused by an infected oil gland in the eyelid. TheDrugClub is here to help make these necessary treatments more affordable, ensuring you can get the care you need without financial strain.
A hordeolum, or stye, is an acute infection of an oil gland located at the base of an eyelash or inside the eyelid. It typically appears as a red, tender, swollen lump on the eyelid, often resembling a pimple. These infections are usually caused by Staphylococcus bacteria and can be quite uncomfortable, sometimes leading to blurry vision or a feeling of something in the eye. While an external hordeolum forms on the outside edge of the eyelid, an internal hordeolum develops deeper inside the eyelid, often being more painful.
Most styes resolve on their own within a week or two with simple home care. The primary treatment involves applying warm compresses to the affected eyelid for 10-15 minutes, three to four times a day. This helps to bring the pus to the surface, allowing the stye to drain naturally. It's crucial to keep the area clean and avoid touching or squeezing the stye, as this can spread the infection. During this time, it's also best to avoid eye makeup and contact lenses.
If a stye persists or worsens, your doctor might prescribe antibiotic eye drops or an antibiotic ointment to combat the bacterial infection. In rare cases of severe or widespread infection, oral antibiotics might be prescribed. For styes that don't drain, a doctor may need to perform a minor procedure to relieve the pressure and drain the infection.
