Chalazion and Stye Symptoms

Stye symptoms can include:

• a very painful red bump along the edge of the eyelid at the base of the eyelashes. It may make the entire eyelid swell
• usually a small pus spot at the center of the bump
• feeling like something is in your eye
• having a scratchy feeling in the eye
• being sensitive to light
• crustiness along the eyelid margin
• tearing in that eye

A chalazion can develop and you might not see any symptoms. When there are symptoms, they can include:

• a bump on the eyelid, sometimes becoming red and swollen. Occasionally it can be tender.
• rarely, an entirely swollen eyelid
• blurry vision, if the chalazion is large enough to press on the eyeball
