What is a stye?
A stye is a small, painful bump that develops on or inside the eyelid. It's usually caused by a blockage or infection of one of the tiny oil glands located near the base of your eyelashes. Styes can be red, swollen, and tender to the touch, often resembling a pimple or a small boil. They can occur on the upper or lower eyelid and can sometimes cause discomfort, especially when blinking or touching the affected area.
Expectations
When you visit Dr. Rachel Ellis for help with a stye, expect a comprehensive evaluation of your condition and a discussion of treatment options. Styes often respond well to treatment, and we offer both medical and surgical solutions. For minor styes, we provide convenient and cost-effective in-office procedures, such as surgical drainage or gland removal.
Our goal is to alleviate discomfort and promote swift recovery. Dr. Ellis will explain the treatment plan, offer pain management guidance, and ensure you understand post-procedure care. We'll also discuss costs and insurance coverage, making the process as transparent as possible. Expect personalized care to address your unique needs and effectively treat your stye.
After your procedure, we'll schedule follow-up appointments as needed to monitor your healing progress. Rest assured that at Dr. Rachel Ellis's office, we're committed to providing convenient, cost-effective, and efficient solutions to help you find relief from styes and ensure the health of your eyes.

Nicole Tuchman: I have been to Dr. Rachel Ellis a few times now and I think she's fantastic. I needed a lesion removed from my eyelid and I was so nervous since it was very close to my eye. Dr. Ellis talked me through exactly what she would be doing and made me feel comfortable. She was so careful and precise that the procedure was practically painless. She noticed another spot that I had for a long time and was always self-conscious of. She was able to remove that as well.
