A stye is an indication of an infected eyelid gland, with a pimple or abscess forming on the upper or lower edge of the eyelid. In general, the eye stye does no harm to the eyes and rarely affects them. But if it becomes more serious, it may affect your vision, making you have difficulty in seeing things clearly. Under such circumstances, you can apply warm compresses over the affected area four to six times a day, and ten to fifteen minutes a time, or you can also soak a clean washcloth in the warm water and then wring it, and put it on the eyes to relieve the symptoms. You can also use some prescribed antibiotic ointments or steroid ointments to treat it. During the treatment, do not wear contact lenses and eye makeup. And do not rub your eyes with your fingers and do not press or squeeze the stye in case of bacteria infection. Wash your hands often and dry them with a neat and tidy towel. Wish you better soon.
