Default results from an acute infection of the oil glands of the eyelid

A sty (sometimes spelled stye) is a tender, painful red bump located at the base of an eyelash or under or inside the eyelid. The medical term for a sty is hordeolum (plural, hordeola).

A sty results from an acute infection of the oil glands of the eyelid (meibomian glands) that occurs after these glands have become clogged.

Default a small abscess of the hair follicle gland

A sty or hordeolum is a small abscess of the hair follicle gland at the base of the eyelash. It occurs when the gland becomes clogged with bacteria, most commonly staphylococcal. The infection is usually limited to the eyelid. Most styes drain on their own.
