Eye stye develops due to infection of the meibomian glands (oil glands of the eyelids) and clogs it. The cause of infection may be due to an infected hair follicle in the eyelash. Staphylococcus aureus bacteria found on the skin are responsible for 95% of cases of eye styes. A sty can also develop as a complication of eyelid inflammation (blepharitis).

Blepharitis induces excess oil production by the glands near the eyelid, which supports the growth of bacteria, which are normally present on the skin. Eyelids become red and irritated, with scales that adhere to the eyelash base. It may relate to repeated styes and chalazia.
