Eyelid irritation (4)

I believe the answer is:

stye

'eyelid irritation' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for stye that I've seen before include "Viewer's complaint" , "Eye blemish" , "makes viewer sore" , "Eye complaint" , "Eyelid sore" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times, the Universal, the Wall Street Journal, the USA Today, The Washington Post and the L.A. Times Daily.
