A possible relationship exists between the use of the prescription drug Accutane (for cystic acne) and the development of sties:
Accutane reduces oil production in facial sebaceous glands and disrupts function of the meibomian (oil) glands in the eyelids. The oil glands in the eyelids lubricate the eyes, helping to prevent the introduction of bacteria.
The possible link between sties and the use of Accutane may reside in the medication’s ability to reduce production of oil, which inhibits formation of acne, but may also invite opportunistic bacteria into the eyes. Sties are typically staphylococcal.
