How do you care for a stye in your eye?

11 doctors weighed in across 3 answers

Warm Compresses: Warm compresses applied about 15 minutes on then off, 4 times a day, usually will help most simple stys. If not helping, see an eye doctor as one might need to have the lesion opened and they are the best doctors to take care of this. Antibiotics are generally only needed when a sty has turned into a more severe infection.

Warm compresses: Warm compresses, gentle massage and cleansing with baby shampoo should help. If it lasts more than 2-3 weeks you may need an antibiotic. See an ophthalmologist.
