Stye?: It's possible that you have a stye affecting one of the eyelid oil glands that is sore to touch or rub. Try applying hot compresses to the eye lid for 10' 2-3 times daily and gently massage the eyelid after the application. This should ease the pressure within the gland and eventually should release the trapped contents. This usually takes a few days to resolve. If not see an eye md.
