Avoid Contact Lenses and Makeup
Makeup would irritate and worsen the eye stye. If you wear makeup too often during this time, it would even slow down the healing process. Some people even transfer bacteria to makeup tools and items, thus spreading the bacteria to the other eye. Therefore, it is advisable to avoid makeup until symptoms improve. Similarly, avoid wearing contact lenses and opt for glasses until your eye heals. [7]
Surgery
When an eye stye is internal or affects the vision, surgery may be needed to drain it. Otherwise, the stye would turn into a chalazion and lead to other complications. In general, it is a simple procedure in which the doctor injects a local anesthesia and drains the stye. This option can also help prevent it from happening again in the future. You may leave the hospital on the same day. [8]
