About Stye

A stye, medically known as a hordeolum, is a common, painful red bump near the edge of the eyelid caused by a bacterial infection of an oil gland or eyelash follicle. While many styes resolve on their own with warm compresses, an ophthalmologist may need to perform a minor surgical procedure for persistent or severe cases. This in-office procedure, often performed under local anesthesia, involves making a small incision to drain the accumulated pus and relieve pressure, leading to immediate pain relief and faster healing. It is a quick, effective intervention to prevent the infection from spreading or becoming a chronic chalazion, ensuring optimal eyelid health and comfort.

Key Highlights

PATIENT REVIEW

I'd been to a couple of...

I'd been to a couple of doctors for this nagging stomach pain and fatigue, and everyone just said it was stress. Dr. Karunakaran actually listened. He asked a lot of questions I hadn't been asked before and ordered some specific tests. Turns out it was a tricky gallbladder issue that wasn't showing up on the standard scans. He explained it in a way that finally made sense. I had the surgery at MGM last month and feel like myself again.
