Why do people get styes in our eyes?

Styes are caused by a blocked tear duct. It's kind of like a pimple, caused by dirt, oils, etc. Do not try to pop it, it can be dangerous to do so. Apply as hot a cloth to it as you can withstand several times a day, this will help to unclog and draw out the bacteria. Also, keep your hands away from your face, get enough sleep, and try to avoid stress.

the swelling could be caused by any number of medical conditions, but the most common causes are either pinkeye(conjuctivitis) or having a sty on your eye. If your eye is red and matted together when you wake up, this could be pinkeye. If this is the case you need to contact your doctor and have it checked out. If it is a sty, there is really not much you can do, except put warm compresses on it.

A stye is an infection of the follicle of your eyelash,you probably rubbed your eye with a nono-too -clean finger.\nCheck for the eyelash that is infected....it will be the most painful,get a pair of tweezers and pull it out!\nThen wash your entire face with warm water and soap,take 2 aspirin ----(they are anti-inflammatory and help to reduce the swelling) ---and go to sleep.\nGuaranteed to work in less than 36 hours.

Staring is often viewed as a contest of wills. There is also a widespread belief in the evil eye which is the belief that people can malevolently spread a curse simply by staring at you or your friends or relatives.

This is very bad for the corneas. Abrasions of the corneas with opacities can occur. Tell the person to stop this habit. MD

It's possible, but it depends on how well your eye doctor can get your itchy, watery eys under control.  It sounds like it's being caused by allergies and there are several different medications that can help with that.  You'll probably have to go through the allergy treatment before your doctor can decide if you're a good contact lens candidate.

Oh jeez, I hope you didn't waste your time reading all that other stuff, so unnecessary.\n\nFirst of all make sure you have the correct problem...the definition of stye means you have a blocked meibomian gland, this will be a red painful bump(not white). If this is you...\n\nhttp://www.midwesteyecare.com/SubSection/index.php?SectionID=7&SubSectionID=122&ParentID=54\n\nThere's only one paragrapgh to read on this website page. That's all you need to know.

The cornea is the outer surface of your eyes. Lots of things can cause corneal scratches, and therefore scars. Contacts are the main cause of corneal scratches, ulcers, and scars, especially if you get anything (hair, abrasive things like sand, etc.) caught between your contact and your eye. If you got a dog hair in you eye and rubbed it too hard, that could cause a scar. Otherwise it could just be that perhaps your dog scratched your eye while you were playing?

Unless you are dehydrated it is probably hereditary.  Some people just don't have as much of a fatty pad under their eyes as others.  I had sunken areas too.  Went to a cosmetic surgeon and had fat removed from my abdomen and injected underneath my eyes.  Nice improvement (and people no longer tell me I look "tired".)

This is an old wife's tale, but it has worked for me in the past.  Get a gold ring and rub it on the stye.  It reacts to something in the metal.\n\nhttp://www.freewebs.com/spiritualhealing

Actually it's not good for you as excessive rubbing with too much pressure can cause your eyeball to change it's shape resulting in vision problems (even just a slight change in the shape can cause this).  Why do some people's brains make drugs, alcohol, or cigarettes feel good?  Not real sure there is an answer for that.  My guess, because we as human beings naturally tend to like things that aren't all that good for us.  Especially when we know it isn't good for us.  LOL.  Or it could be that rubbing them causes your eyes to produce more tears thus clearing debris (bacteria, dirt, etc) that is irritating the eye out of the eye.  Just a guess.\nOh and your eyes have a natural defense against most bacteria/fungi that would get into your eyes (tears, which are used to flush these things as well as others from your eyes.  If I"m not mistaken your tears are slightly acidic which kills a lot of organisms that would get into your eyes.  I might be wrong on that though, they might be slightly basic.  Whatever, the pH level of your tears has something to do with it)  That said, it is a good idea to wash your hands before touching your eyes or any other part of your face.

Warm (NOT hot) compresses.  DO NOT try and pop it, it will go away on it's own.  If you are female, you MUST throw away all of your eye makeup.  I know that it's expensive, but it is now infected with the same bacteria that caused your sty, and it can reoccur if you don't replace it.  Basically, just wait for the sty to resolve itself...

It's probably a sty. Put a hot wash cloth on the affected eye and it should go away in a few days.

Your question is "Why are some people eyes whiter than others?"\nThe answer: Cos some people take care of them much better than others, or are not stressing them that much in comparison to the red eyed ones.\nIt cud also be genetic.

because it passes thru our cornea and hits our retina
