Sty eye infection (Sty / Hordeolum) is an acute bacterial infection of the eyelash follicle or meibomian gland, most commonly due to Staphylococcus aureus. Sty eye infection begins as localized redness and tenderness on the eyelid and then develops into a painful swelling with pus. Patients may experience watering of eyes, photophobia, crusting of lashes, burning, heaviness of eyelids, headache from eye strain, and gritty foreign body sensation. Predisposing factors include lack of proper eyelid hygiene, use of expired eye cosmetics, rubbing of eyes, blepharitis, excessive screen time, oily skin, diabetes, anemia, low immunity, and mental stress. Styes can be external (around lash line) or internal (inside eyelid) and can progress to chalazion if glandular blockage persists.

Homoeopathy treats both the acute inflammation and the constitutional tendency to develop recurrent styes. Selection of medicine is based on the character of swelling, tendency to suppurate, side of eye affected, nature of discharge, general sensitivity, emotional triggers, skin and glandular tendencies, and immune weakness. Homoeopathic medicines reduce pain, swelling, pus formation, and recurrence without requiring surgical intervention and help prevent chronic chalazion formation.

Long-standing styes and chalazion also respond well, avoiding surgical removal.
