How Can Stye On The Lower Right Eyelid Be Treated?
I had a sty on my lower right eyelid that was treated initially with neomycin b sulfate a and dexamethasone ophthalmic suspension and then a 10 day course of aziz. I have been using warm eye compresses on it. Now, I see I have developed a sty on my lower left lid. I have begun warm compresses and have some of the drops prescribed for me for my right eye. Should I take the drops in the hope of stopping this earlier or wait until I go to my ophthalmologist? I hope to go today.

Hi. The best home treatment to get rid of a stye is to apply a warm water compress as often as possible. It is important to remember that a chalazion or a stye may take months to resolve completely.
The key is to dedicate as much time as possible to treatment with the warm compress. Several minutes at a time (for example, 15 minutes), several times a day (for example, four times per day) will improve the odds that the sty or chalazion will clear on its own.
you can als take the drops for 1-2 Weeks. That can help.
Best regards
