Specializes in Cornea, Cataract, & Refractive (LASIK & PRK) Surgery

Stye: Your description sounds like a stye. If warm compresses and lid scrubs do not help, you should see an eye doctor to see if topical medication or surgical excision is needed.

Yesterday my boyfriend had a pimple on his eyelid, near/on the tear duct. This morning he woke up and the inner part of his eye lid and underneath it is swollen/red - we think it might be a blocked tear duct. Are there ways to treat this at home?
