Yes. Did you know that a hot tea bag can bring relief from a sty?

Eye Styes or Hordeolum What causes eye Styes Styes are bacterial infections that lead to the obstruction of oil producing glands around the eyelashes or eyelids. Styes are seen as small bumps on the eyelids. Styes (also called "sty") are usually harmless and will go away after several days on their own as your body fights the infection. There are some cases where surgical draining of the stye or the application of antibiotic drops may be required. To prevent a stye in the eye; always washing hands before touching the eyes and keeping good eye hygiene, especially for contact users. Eye Stye Symptoms Redness accompanied by slight pain and tenderness Swelling of a certain area which usually appears as a bump Tearing of the eye Discomfort when blinking Sensitivity to light Eye Styes Treatment Apply warm compresses for several minutes 3 to 4 times daily Application of prescribed antibiotic drops may also be used to help fight the infection Surgical drainage of the stye may also be necessary if the stye is not responding to treatment

Some people get styes quite often. If so, you can wash your eyelashes like you do your hair: with shampoo. Use a tiny bit of baby shampoo (Johnson's No More Tears) and gently wash your eyelashes each time you're in the shower. Styes should stay away. If you have one, clean, warm compresses of any kind will make it feel better.

Yes, and usually if you pluck that eyelash (as painful as it is) the stye goes away quicker.

It can also be a plugged gland.
There are oil producing glands that help to make up tear film.
These can be found along the lid margins of your eyes.
Most generally these can be resolved by putting a warm moist compress on them and or allowing them to come to a head and then pricking them and allowing them to drain.
In extreme cases medication may be needed and or surgical intervention is required.
