Diagnosed eye retention cyst, shrunk in a few days, very little present, eye still red and irritated for 2 weeks. lubricating eye drops aren't helping?

Need to clarify: I am going to assume that you have a stye or cyst of the eyelid and not the eye. Best treatment for these is lots of hot compresses and good eyelid hygiene. If the cyst remains despite such treatment then it could either be injected or drained surgically.
