WHY DO I HAVE PAIN IN EYE WHEN BLINKING
Are you experiencing physical discomfort in the top or bottom eyelid when you open or shut the eyes quickly? You might be suffering from an eye stye.
A stye (medical term hordeolum) is an inflamed swelling that forms on the edge of an eyelid, generally caused by infection of an oil gland at the base of an eyelash root follicle. When an oil gland in one of the upper or lower folds of of skin that covers the eye becomes infected, a person will begin to feel physical pain when blinking.

PAIN RESULTING FROM EYE STYES
If you’re suffering from the onset of a stye, pain is felt as a stinging or sudden, sharp localized pain each time the eye blinks.
(Pic 1) slight pain when blinking (Pic 2) Moderate pain when blinking (Pic 3) Sever pain when blinking
Generally there is little or no swelling involved for the first day or two. However, after 24 to 48 hours the infected eyelid swells rapidly as a result of an accumulation of fluid. Once the eyelid begins to bulge do to swelling, the pain associated with the stye becomes more sever, especially when blinking the eye.
An eye stye typically last 5 to 7 days. During this time, the eyelid will be tender to the touch. But once the physical pain subsides, the stye is considered to be cured. Often an abscess will remain (a swollen area containing an accumulation of pus) long after the stye is healed.

TAKE PAIN MEDICATION
Pain and inflammation resulting from a stye can be temporarily relieved with anti-inflammatory pain relievers such as Ibuprofen. It’s recommended you seek professional medical advice from a qualified doctor before taking any anti-inflammatory drugs. Acetaminophen (Tylenol) can also bring pain relief, but it’s not as effective for someone suffering from pain associated with inflammation.
HOW TO GET RID OF A STYE FAST
If you’re experiencing pain when blinking your eye, there’s a good chance it’s the result of a stye beginning to form. When a stye is in its infancy stage, the stye can be quickly cured when the correct medications are introduced.
To get rid of a stye fast, it's critical to treat it in the early stages of growth. This will help avoid longterm complications. A sty that goes untreated will develop a pus filled sac. If the abscess does not burst open and leak pus, the matter will harden and a chalzaion forms. A chalazion can last 3 weeks to more than a year—and require a surgical procedure to clear the cyst.
