Don't endure swollen, painful eyelids — treat them accurately

a condition caused by bacterial infection or gland blockage.

From early inflammation care to micro-incision drainage,

Shinsegae Eye Center resolves it cleanly and painlessly.

Causes & types of stye

Not every stye is the same — which symptom is yours?

  • External stye

    External stye

    Sharp pain with eyelid swelling along the edge —

    the most common form (bacterial).

  • Internal stye

    Internal stye

    Forms on the inner eyelid mucosa,

    deeper than external — more painful with abscess.

  • Chalazion

    Chalazion

    Less painful but a hard nodule under the lid —

    a chronic inflammatory form.

Scar-free stye treatment
at Shinsegae Eye Center

STEP 1

Early medication

In the early stage, antibiotic drops and oral medication quickly calm the inflammation.

STEP 2

Warm compress

We guide proper warm-compress technique to release hardened oil and support natural healing.

STEP 3

Micro-incision drainage

If medication doesn't help or pus collects, local anesthesia + micro-incision removes the abscess scar-free.

Stye FAQ

Squeezing at home
Q.

Can I squeeze it at home?

A

Absolutely not.

Squeezing with unsterile hands spreads bacteria,

worsening inflammation and risking scarring.

Prevention
Q.

How can I prevent it?

A

Cleanliness first!

Wash hands often, avoid rubbing eyes,

and get enough rest — the best prevention.

Contagious
Q.

Is it contagious?

A

No. Unlike viral conjunctivitis,

stye is a personal inflammation — not transmissible.

Contacts or eye makeup
Q.

Can I wear contact lenses

or eye makeup with a stye?

A

Please pause until symptoms ease.

Wearing lenses with a stye can cause

secondary infection (conjunctivitis, keratitis).
