Understanding about eye infection-Stye
A stye develops from a blocked gland near the eyelid. It can also develop from an eyelash which has fallen out and become infected. Many people develop sties due to excessive rubbing of the eyelids or from a buildup of oil around the eyelids.
If the stye is due to an infection, there are different treatment options available. A hot compress such as soaking a towel under hot water and applying it to the eyelid several times a day will usually help it drain quickly.
Prescription antibiotic eye ointment or oral medications will help to kill the bacterial infection and allow the eyelid to calm down.
In severe cases, a surgical procedure may be performed by an eye specialist to drain any infectious material from the stye itself.
If you are concerned about a stye, try the home remedies listed above and then talk with your doctor.
