I have had styes in both of my eyes for 3 months and they are so bad that they are almost swollen shut. Can someone tell me what remedies really work?
 
What type of tea bag Comments By: Sean on 2007-05-21
As I sit here at 4 am with a horrible Stye, I have just made my cup of tea..do I use Yorkshire tea? PG Tips or Tesco's Finest...this is beginning to bug me now this Stye. Good job you dont suggest coffee because I can;t stand coffee ;)
 
IT DOESNT WORK IN CHALAZION Comments By: Ann on 2007-07-12
Its not a sty if you've have that for more than a month. I think its called chalazion. Sty lasts only for less than a week or 2 weeks at most.Chalazion is caused by blocked glands in your eyes. I dont actually know if teabags will work on chalazion. I've read on a magazine that if chalazion didn't heal naturally for 2-3 months, you should have it removed by surgery or sort of injection.
Going back to teabags, yup, it works.. i just have no patience with that because whenever I put it on my eyes, it keeps on falling sidewards.=)

 
working well! Comments By: Jon on 2007-08-16
I have had a large stye on my eyelid for 4 months now. After 2 applications of the tea bag, it is now almost gone!

My Sty Eye Comments By: DPO on 2007-09-14
I do seem to get a lot of Sty's one or two every month, I treat them by gently bathing the infected Eye with Chamomile tea sweetened with a spoon full of Manuka honey, after bathing I put the Tea Bag over the Eye, The Sty will normally discharge the same day or the next, and can clear a few days later,
Best to treat ones Eye the moment you think you may have a Sty on the way,
I find this works better then any thing I have ever been given by a Doc.

Yes it works Comments By: Ruthlouisej on 2007-10-16
Have hardly been able to sleep all night because of a sty that's just come up overnight. Have just sat with a tea bag on for 5 mins - as hot as i could stand it (PG Tips if you're interested!) and the pain has started to subside along with the swelling. Fab remedy!
