“What causes boils inside the eyes?”
I often get boils on the inside of my eyelids, which causes me to have severe irritation and pain. What is the reason behind this?

Boils on the inside of the eyelids can be an internal stye which is caused by a clogged gland. The glands on the lids can become clogged from make-up, pollen, pollution, dry skin, and bacteria. Not blinking properly will also cause the oil in the glands to solidify. The lids need to be cleaned daily with a lid cleanser and warm compresses will help too. See your eye care professional to make sure that is the cause of the lid. There could be other things in the lid that could cause irritation.
The root cause of bumps in the eyelids is dry eyes related to meibomian gland dysfunction.
I assume you mean styes? This can be related to hygiene, diet, and stress. Get a check up and have your eye doctor help you find the cause and treatment.
Hygiene. Use warm compressors and wash lids with baby shampoo every day
If you have actual "boils" on the inside of your eyelids, you definitely need to see an excellent eye doctor. Boils are enclosed glands that have a purulent component to them. That is definitely not a common occurrence. If you get bumps on the inside of your eyelids and you wear contact lenses, then that is a totally different problem. That is an incomplete cleaning of the lenses, old lenses, improper fitting lenses, etc. Either one says she needs an eye doctor.
