Excerpt from Granular Lids and Contagious Diseases of the Eye Acute inflammatory swelling of the margin of the lid, especially if localized, indicates a hordeolum, and with this we must expect some participation of the conjunctiva; in fact, if a stye develops near the outer corner, it is apt to be accompanied by intense redness of the eye, and the conjunctiva of the eyeball may be swollen or lifted by serous exudation to such an ex tent, that it resembles bags of transparent fluid. The patient is hardly able to open the lids in such cases, and an inspection of the eyeball becomes very dith cult. The pain is, however, more intense and of a sharp, acute variety and difiers in that respect from the painful sensation of an acute conjunctivitis.
