__Stye __ __﻿ __ //__ Cause __// Stye can be caused by the oil gland being blocked at the base of the eyelashes. It can be transmitted by sharing towels and face towels. Also by poor nutrition, lack of hygiene, and rubbing the eye.

 * A lump on top or bottom of eyelid
 * Swelling of the eyelid
 * Redness
 * Crusting of the eyelid margins
 * Burning in the eye
 * Blurred vision
 * Light sensitivity

Styes can last at least 2 weeks without treatment and 4 days minimum with proper treatment. Styes are not deadly, complications are very rare, they usually heal on their own within a week or two.
