A stye is caused by an infection in the sebaceous (oil producing) or sweat glands in the eyelid. The infection is usually caused by bacteria called Staphylococcus aureus.
What are the symptoms of a stye?
The following are the most common symptoms of a stye. However, each person may experience symptoms differently. Symptoms may include:
* swelling of the eyelid
* redness at the edge of the eyelid
* pain over the affected area (localized pain)
* tenderness
* drainage of yellow fluid

The answer by FullMast is correct...Also if you want to avoid getting stye, change your eye make up (ie:eyeliner, mascara) every 3 months.

there are two major causes
A sty results from an acute infection of the oil glands of the eyelid (meibomian glands) that occurs after these glands have become clogged.
A sty also may arise from an infected hair follicle at the base of an eyelash.
