What are styes on the eye

2018-09-05 12:21:10
I am a 17-year-old college student and I came across something quite strange recently. My friend had to take a day off because she was having some problem with her eyes and it hurt her head. When I asked what it was, she said she had a stye on the eye. What are styes on the eye and what causes them? How does it affect the person with it?
