Stye: A stye is any lump that forms in your eyelids. There are two types. A hordoleum is a blockage of a sweat gland in the lower eyelid. A chelazian is a blockage in the meibomian gland of the upper eyelid. All are treated the same. Gentle wiping/massage of the edge of the affected lid helps to remove crusts and bacteria and loosen the blockage and prevent infection. Warm compresses help to drain them.
