Styes are a common condition that develop on the inside or outside of the eyelid, in glands or eyelash follicles that have become infected after becoming blocked up by dirt or dead skin. Although they can be painful, styes usually heal after a few weeks. In most cases they will only affect one eye, but styes on both eyes are also possible, as are multiple styes on the same eye.
