How to Treat a Stye

How to treat a stye (a painful, red bump on your eyelid)

1. Ocusoft eyelid scrubs or spray, which removes oil, debris, pollen from the eyelid & helps with the healing of the stye. Use 2x/day before applying heat.

2. Apply heat! We carry Ocusoft dry eye masks in our office. Heat the mask in the microwave for 20-30 seconds, then apply to the stye for 10 minutes, 4x/day (2x in the morning & 2x in the evening). Gently massage the stye for 5 minutes afterwards.

3. Antibiotic ointment and oral antibiotics are prescribed: use as instructed!
