## Q&A

**Q: What is ketumbit (an eye stye) and what causes it?**
A: A stye (*ketumbit*) is a small, painful red bump that develops on the outer or inner edge of the eyelid. It is caused by bacterial blockage and infection of an eyelash follicle or eyelid oil gland (often *Staphylococcus* bacteria).

**Q: How should you treat a stye safely at home?**
A: Apply a clean, warm compress over closed eyelids for 5 to 10 minutes, 2 to 4 times per day to encourage natural drainage. Never squeeze, pop, or puncture the stye, and avoid wearing eye makeup or contact lenses until fully healed.

**Q: Why does prolonged smartphone use cause red eyes (mata merah main HP)?**
A: Extended screen exposure reduces natural blinking rates by up to 50%, leading to accelerated tear evaporation, surface dryness, eye strain, and dilated blood vessels in the sclera.

**Q: When does a red eye or stye require urgent medical attention?**
A: Consult an eye care professional or physician immediately if you experience severe eye pain, changes in vision, extreme sensitivity to light (photophobia), eyelid swelling that impairs vision, or symptoms while wearing contact lenses.
