About Stye
An infected oil gland or lash follicle produces a stye: a small, sore, red lump on the lid margin.
Why Stye Happens
Bacteria block a gland in the eyelid, frequently after touching the eyes with unwashed hands or using old make-up or contact lenses.
Golturkbuku: Local Notes for Stye
The bars and clubs of Golturkbuku keep visitors up late, so exhaustion, alcohol and sun often add up to a day in bed. Other places within reach include Akyarlar, Turgutreis, Kadikalesi. Late nights, alcohol and little sleep can make many conditions harder to shake, so rest, drink water and tell the doctor what you have been drinking and taking.
