#AskAnEyeDoc
Eye styes (or sties) can be incredibly uncomfortable. That’s why it’s no surprise so many are asking what they can do to not only get rid of them but also prevent them altogether.
Styes are small infections of the oil glands that sit along the eyelid. They can often be treated at home with warm compresses. You can help reduce your chances of getting styes by washing your hands before touching your eyes, washing your eyelids daily with a mild cleanser, and removing all eye makeup before bed. In this episode of #AskAnEyeDoc, Dr. Joseph Allen offers a wealth of information about preventing those pesky styes.
