A tye is actually caused by a virus. You get it Ike any virus, most likely from touching something and then touching your eye. You may be more prone to infection during times of stress or lack of sleep.

What happens if you pop a stye in your eye?

No! Do not even try to do this!If you attempt popping the stye, you will either hurt the sensitvie eye skin or infect the stye. In order to get rid of the stye, carefully cut a peice of garlic unil you can see the wet part, then SLOWLY rub it on your stye. This method has been used for centuries. It really works! Apply 3-4 times a day until the stye is gone. MUST BE CONSISTENT. Doing it randomly one or two times won't help. But be careful, if the garlic gets INSIDE your eye it will BURN. *just an addition - if you don't trust garlic use hot water to damp a rag apply for 15mins several times a day.
