stye
ok, i have a stye on my eye, and it hurts really badly. I can't blink without feeling pain. What can I do to make it go away? What are the causes of styes? Also, I have an eye doctor appointment tomorrow (4/24). Is the stye going to affect it? Will my doctor still be able to do all the tests he needs to do (its just a regular check up).
13/f if that helps.

well i'm 13 and i have a stye if that helps.
first just get like a cloth of something then soak it in hot or warm water (not hot enough to scald yourself) then after the cloth is nice and hot drain it so it as much as you can, it doesn't matter if its a bit wet. then close your eye and put the cloth on your eye. for best results do it 3 or 4 times a day for a couple of days. after about 3 or 4 days of doing that and it still hasn't gone away go to the doctors. maybe when you go to the eye doctor he can help you.

Styes are usually something as simple as an ingrown eyelash but they REALLY hurt!
It shouldn't affect your opticians appointment too much, as long as you explain to them that it hurts when you blink. As far as I know, there's no real treatment for styes and you usually have to let them disappear in their own time. However, your optician might be able to shed a little more light on this and he may have a way to treat it so let him know what's wrong and see what he says.

The stye shouldn't affect your regular eye exam.
The Dr may be able to prescribe something for you to help it heal faster. For now try a warm moist washcloth for 20 minutes at a time. This will help releive the inflammation and the pain.
Styes can be caused by staph bacteria so be careful not to touch it with your hands. Sometimes a small oil gland will get plugged which will create the swelling and redness.

Stye Eyes Can Be Caused By Getting A Simple Small Eyelash Underneath It! And Yes I Know It Hurts VERY Bad! When You Go To Wall Mart Or Something I Recommmend That You Pick Up This "Sterile Lubricant Eye Ointent" Called STYE. It Works Very Well! Hope You Get Better!

A sty can be caused by many things. Makeup...even your own can indeed cause them as I think someone else already mentioned.
I have a web site for you that will help you out.
The best person to tell you about sty's is your eye doctor! So seeing him tomorrow is great!
It probably won't affect the rest of your eye tests and he can probably give you something to help with the sty. If it is even still there, many are gone the day after you get them. If that happens mention it to the eye doc anyway. :)

LOL, actually it is one of those words that can be spelled either way. You did alright! :)

You should go to the doctors for treatment, or a pharmacy if it's not too bad. Don't leave it or it will get a lot worse. Also try not to touch it then touch the other eye as you could pass the infection on. Good luck.

hey hey :)
my best friend had one for quite a while cause she shared somebody else's eyeliner. Yeah, well she went to the doctor and got antibiotics to kill the infection cause hers was pretty bad.
I'd call the eye doctor, and just let them know whats up and see if it'll be a problem. It depends on the doctor if it'll be a problem, some say it will, some say it wont. So just give them a heads up :)
Hope it gets better.

Stye eye just means you got an infection in your eye. It's common and I had it before. What usually works is just put a clean, warm-hot wet towel or rag on the eye several times a day and it usually goes away within a day or two. Commonly the stye eye won't effect you afterwards; it's just a little infection caused from getting soap in your eye, from eye makeup staying near your eyes for a long period of time, or rubbing it too much. It's like getting pink eye. But you don't need to worry much about it unless it persists or worsens after a few days. Then seeing a Doctor would help as well.
