What to do if i have a sty in my eye how will i remove it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Sty: Microwave a clean potato with the skin on for four minutes. Wet a wash cloth or small towel with warm or hot water. Squeeze out the excess water and wrap it around the potato. Apply this to the eye lid until it cools down (about 15minutes).This can be repeated intermittently. See your eye doctor for problems.
