Eye styes typically do not directly affect vision. Styes are small, red, painful bumps or lumps that form on the eyelid. They are caused by infection or inflammation of the oil glands in the eyelids. Although they can be uncomfortable and cause localized swelling and tenderness around the eye, styes typically do not affect the actual functioning of the eye or vision. However, in rare cases where a stye becomes very large and causes significant swelling or if it presses against the eyeball, it may cause temporary blurred vision or affect the ability to fully open the eye. If you experience any changes in vision or severe pain with a stye, it is recommended to see an eye care professional for evaluation and appropriate treatment.
