| A hordeolum, sometimes
called a style, is a local infected abscess of a hair
follicle or a gland on the margin of the eyelid. An external hordeolum is a focal, erythematous swelling of the anterior eyelid margin, often an infected gland of Zeis. An internal hordeolum is an acute focal inflammation / infection of a meibomian gland. Local treatment, including topical antibiotics and warm compresses, is usually sufficient. Systemic antibiotics are sometimes considered when extensive eyelid cellulitis occurs. |
