Will a stye affect the size of my eyelid permanently?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No, it'l be normal: again after it heals! Use warm compresses for 15 mins 4 times a day and you should be good. Continue warm compresses once a day in the morning when you get up to help open the oil ducts to lubricator your eyes to prevent more styes. Use lubricating drops (non preserved), and don't use the computer so much. It reduces blinking to a bare minimum and increases dry eyes, possibly more styes too.
