Understanding Stye
An infected oil gland or lash follicle produces a stye: a small, sore, red lump on the lid margin.
What Can Cause Stye
Bacteria block a gland in the eyelid, often after touching the eyes with unwashed hands or using old make-up or contact lenses.
Typical Symptoms
- Swelling of the lid
- A small yellow spot as it comes to a head
- A tender red bump on the eyelid
- Watering eye
- A gritty feeling
Kilyos: Local Notes for Stye
Kilyos suits walkers and explorers, but sun, ticks, insects and uneven paths mean minor injuries and bites are common. Other places within reach include Heybeliada, Istanbul Airport, Sabiha Gokcen Airport. Remote tours and outdoor days make it harder to reach help, so carry water, basic supplies and your medicines, and contact us early.
