Acute bacterial infection of the oil glands in the eyelid creates a visable bump in the eyelid that is tender to the touch. This is a hordeolum (or sty). After the body kills off the bacteria, a non-tender bump remains. This is called a chalazion. Treatment of both conditions is warm compresses to the eyelid. In severe cases, oral antibiotics are used. In some cases they are removed surgically. |
