A stye, also called hordeolum is a pimple-like bump that usually occurs on the edge of only one eyelid. Symptoms of styes include swelling, pain, soreness and a feeling like there is something in the affected eye. A stye may also be itchy, cause a light sensitivity and increased production of tears. If you look closely, you may see a yellowish spot in the center of the stye 1http://www.nhs.uk/Conditions/stye/Pages/introduction.aspx.
