What can go wrong?What can go wrong?• Complications are rare!• A stye can turn into a chalazion.
– This is when the duct gland becomes fully blocked.

How do you get rid of a How do you get rid of a stye?!stye?!
• Warm/Hot compresses are the best way to get rid of a stye because it opens the pores.– Apply for 10 minutes, 4 times a day
• Antibiotic creams or ointments can help.• DO NOT try to “pop” the stye! Let it drain on its
own.– They swell for 3 days and then break open
and drain.• Large styes sometimes need to be lanced, or
cut open, by a doctor to prevent further infection.
• Do not wear eye make-up or contact lenses.
