Is It Safe To Use Hydrogen Peroxide (3%) In Eye Care Solution To Treat Stye?
A few days ago, I put aa small amount of hydrogen peroxide (3%) in my eye care solution because I have a sty. If the amount is small enough to burn only for a few seconds, is there a good chance it will atleast help destroy the infection in my eye? When I out it in my healthy eye i don t feel a thing, it seems to only hurt the infected eye. It makes me assume its safe and doing somthing... but is it?

Hydrogen peroxide is not to beused in eye. Itis a corrosive chemical. Sty is to be treated by appellation. Pus will come out with eye lash. It is to be cleaned and neosporine eye ointme3nt can be applied on lid margin over eppilated sty.In future never use hydrogen peroxide in eye.
