  There are some ways that have been tested by some people to be feasible. Firstly, wash the infected eye with Johnson's baby shampoo. Secondly, mix a cup of warm salt water with 1.5 teaspoon of salt. Thirdly, wash your eyes with the mixed water. Finally, close your eyes a few seconds and dry them with a soft, clean cloth.

  In the early period of treatment, eye stye can be treated by hot compress, three times a day, 10-20 minutes a time. Hot compress helps accelerate abscess ruptured, and the pus can be got out. If the pus has formed, you can use a sterile needle prick it, but not squeeze it, to avoid the spread of inflammation. In addition, you should use antibiotics or sulfa eye drops or ointment.
