Specializes in LASIK Surgery

Warm Compresses: This sound like it could be a stye. A stye is usually caused by a blocked oil gland on the eyelid. Treatment includes warm compresses and lid massage over the bump to encourage the stye to drain. You should visit your eye doctor to examine your eyes and determine the exact cause of the problem, and the correct treatment.
