The eye nodule in the medical language is known as hordeolum or stye. The eye disorder that can appear if you like to peek at this person actually caused by infection bacteriaStaphylococcus aureus who attacked gland in the eye. As a result, a lump appears on the eyelid. Although not dangerous, nodules can interfere with your daily activities because of the pain, and damage the beauty of your eyes.
Various types of eye drops
There are 3 glands of the eyelids that are often infected, namely the glands of Zeis, Moll, and Meibom.
Based on the infected gland, the eyes can be divided into two types, namely the internal hordeolum and external hordeolum. In the internal hordeolum, the infected one is the Meibom gland, while the infection in the Zeis or Moll glands will cause the external hordeolum.
The external hordeolum will appear at the base of the lashes because the location of the Zeis and Moll glands is at the base of the lashes, both on the upper and lower eyelids. While the internal hordeolum will usually appear on the upper eyelid. In addition, the external hordeolum will usually lead to the outer side, while the internal hordeolum lumps lead to the inside so that the eyelids need to be opened to be able to see the lump more clearly.
Signs and symptoms of eye lesions
This infection of the gland of the eyelid will cause small bumps on both the upper and lower eyelids. This lump will usually feel painful, red, and feel warm. If left for too long this lump can emit pus. Sometimes a lump that is large enough to interfere with the sharpness of your eyes so that your vision becomes blurred. In addition to bumps appearing, your eyes will feel dry like sand, which causes itching.
Usually sufferers of biliary eye have also experienced other infection problems in their eyes. Those who suffer from type 2 diabetes or skin diseases such as seborrheic dermatitis have a higher risk of developing nodules.
Although the hordeolum is not dangerous, if it is left untreated it can cause an infection that extends to the eyelids, resulting in what is called periorbital cellulitis.
How do you treat eye drops?
Bintit is a disease that can heal itself within 1-2 weeks, but the healing process can be accelerated in a few simple ways you can do at home. You can do warm compresses and massage slowly on your eyes which experience hordeolum 4 times a day, each for 10 minutes.
If this method still has not been repaired, then you can go see a doctor to get antibiotics that can help speed up healing of the infection. If the lump is large enough and the pus is large enough, the doctor can advise you to take action therapy in the form of a drainage incision. The lump will be opened and the contents of pus will be removed through a small, seamless operation.
One thing you need to remember, do not try to squeeze or break the lump to get pus. This reckless action can actually cause the infection to spread so that the entire eyelid can become infected.
Chalazion, the cause of the eyes that are not due to bacteria
It turns out that the eyes are not always caused by a bacterial infection. In certain conditions, the eyes can be caused by blockages in the eyelid glands without a bacterial infection. The blockage causes the contents of the gland to accumulate and triggers an inflammatory reaction in the eyelids which eventually causes a lump similar to the hordeolum. This painless lump is referred to as chalazion.
