Sty, chalazion, eyelid swelling, treatment and prevention - A State of Sight #28

- Опубліковано 8 вер 2024
- A sty is caused by a blocked oil gland in the eyelid, resulting in swelling, redness, and irritation. In this episode of A State of Sight, Isaac Porter, MD discusses the causes, treatment options and ways to prevent styes in patients that have frequent recurrences. If a sty becomes persistent, it may change to a chalazion when the redness resolves, leaving a small bump in the eyelid. This can be removed by surgery.

Who’s watching this with one eye right now ✨💕
Me!
Meeee it hurts so bad and it's so itchy 😭😭😭
Aye Matey!
ME
I RATHER SUFFER WIsdom teeth removal pain
Meh
Tell me why do stye's have to exist . ? 😡
We wish they didn't exist! However, when the oils in the eyelids become too thick or blocked, a sty can occur.
And chalazions! they stick around for years!!
Hii sir I had undergone an eye surgery 2 days back because of my left eye chalazion I saw a small cut behind it but the issue is I can still find it in the same form it didn't deflate i got an eye ointment to apply
if u can please explain,h as have the doctor done the surgery correctly or even after the surgery it take time to deflate the oil gland ?
@@IsaacPorterMD my bro have an eye bump since August ,it gets size of a more than half marbleball, doctor said it's cholazien something , treated 2 times by doctor through surgery, followed by some medicines but the bump is redeveloping.
Previous history of the same issue:
Have congictivits since 2014, every year it develops and i take treatment with doctors.
Current medications:
Ciplox eye drop, Ibubrofen,ranitidine,amoxycillin
I have sty since 2017.. until now i still have it..
My eyelid was kinda swollen when I woke up and when I told my parents they told me It's because of that phone
O.o
Annoying
Same HAHHAHAHA
sofie. Ahh yeah hear that often... Yesterday I got into a fight with my grandma because I told her that I’m sick of my constrant eye styes. Like I get one, it goes away for like a day, then it comes back. Not to mention I get frequent pink eyes too. She just started parroting my mom about how “(i) play on (my) tablet alllll the time” and how “(i’m) antisocial” and why I “never spend time with (her)” + some lies and assumptions about the best friend I’ve had ever?? Pissed me off big time. She even had the guts to ask me if I remember what my ophthalmologist told me. I did. She said absolutely nothing about electronics so 🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼
I’m still not over it as you might have guessed
Yea, it’s same for me too
Haha..... 😂😆
I have a sty right now and it's so painful and looks like somebody was break dancing on it. Hate these things 👿
Ouch! Hope it gets better!
Eye stye surgery S der... Dats proper treatment... Just Dr used give a small anesthesia injection dat outer part .den dat dirty blood wl open itgo, After surgery.. one day rest dat eye full covered..

And you know the worst part is its my top eyelid and it so heavy,it hurts when I blink
When my eyelid swelling, i do heavy excercises or anything that makes me sweat. It's always worked.
Thank you
🤣😂😂mman
Does this actually work
This does not work at all.
Worked for me tbh
Idk if I have a sty but it hurts when I blink
Same here

yeah that’s a stye so if you like check under your eyelid there will be a red bump and that’s how I know it’s a stye (I’ve had a stye like 10 times)

Sounds like a high school paper being read.
Ya know I was wondering why I suddenly started getting a lot of styes... then you said hormone changes....

thanks for the very informative video. I have two questions. (1) can a chalazion become cancerous? (2) can a cancer look like a chalazion?
Excellent clip! I just got rid of a hell of a bump in eyelid by applying Refresh Tears and applying a heating pad to the eye 4 times per day. It worked great and today it’s almost completely GONE. Got one last year and that thing had to be CUT OUT. Yep! It hurt. So do the heat and drops first sign of swelling if eyelid. Good luck to you.
I been taking omega 3 for 3 months and the serious eye styles been gone. Old ones and new ones! It works for me.
Is it vitamin tablet or capsule?
I haven’t had one since I was like 10 until today and it hurts to blinkkkk
When applying warm compresses, I can see where it's trying to drain from the gland but it never actually opens and drains. Should I try and push it a little even if it hurts?
I recommend my patients to gently massage the eyelids after using a warm compress to help move the blocked oils. I hope it improves!
@@IsaacPorterMD lol mine poped do a sliding motion it pops by its self
No, unless you have a Dr friend, that can do it, I wouldn't
no dont- oh wait 5 years ago...
@@dudedude9528 is your eye still okay now bro?
ihave done an operation just a while ago.it helps me to understand what the cause of this kind of infections...thanks for the video..doc.
thank you very much for your kindness of sharing your view.
THE WARM COMPRESS WORKED!!!
MINE CAME BACK TODAY!!
rozozzy Hopefully it improves again, sorry to hear that!
I think it's my curse to bear!lol it's better but I know it will come back. I went to a doctor last year but I didn't have the core removed. i'd hope it would dissolve in time, maybe after a few years..
Yes it really does work.
Thank you Sir!I was planning operation,now I will follow your advice!
Thank you. This is very helpful. Clear and straight to the point.
make sure it doessnt pop
It hurts a lottttt......!!! Cant go out with it...!!!
i almost 1 week of suffering of sty,i never rid to rub my eyes because its almost irritated.then i see in the mirror there was a white in inner eyelid.now i try this today, thanks for information.
I had a chalazion surgically removed 11 mths ago. I seriously thought one week later that the doctor didn't get it all...here I sit with another one in the exact same spot; I went through the surgery for nothing. Plus, the doc stuck a needle in the center of my eye because she wanted to examine it since I wasn't her regular patient. Now, I see a thin line that I thought was a strand of hair at first or something on my contact lense. It wasn't; looking forward to seeing my reg doc next mth.
I've been suffering from chalazion for last 4 months and it's still there. I've 5 chalazion on both eyes. What should I do?
I think I have sty even tho I'm a kid my eye was hurting and the next day there was a bump
Word it happened to me aswell
It happened to me
Dry rice in a sock, heated a little in a microwave seems works better than water on a wash cloth because the heat seems to remain more constant and radiating. It seems to work faster in shrinking a chalazion or sty. FYI
Please help me, a warm compress didnt work for me, it's getting worse, what do I have to do to stop this? Please help
Thank you for the Information, but do I treat the sty or leave it for it to improve?
Thanks a lot. I am suffering from it. Earlier it was not frequent when I worked on cruise ships. But after leaving that job its quite frequent almost one in every month. On top of that... on my left eyelid it there from 3 months with no pain .
I’m taking antibiotics because my eye got so swollen. Just when it was getting better ANOTHER stye popped up on the same eye and now it’s starting to swell up.
Cesar Zamora same
... Area clean. I appreciate all of the good information you have provided in this video - thank you! Given the amount of time I have had this stye, would there be anything else you could help recommend. I continue to get many questions about it from my colleagues, and am eager to be rid of it as soon as I can.
thank u sir, this was the most easiest way for me to understand and take care on internet of my stye...
best lecture on eye so far........Dr.Rahul, Bangladesh.
I have very oily skin so I guess that’s how I’ve now got my second stye. One was on my right lower eyelid and it hurt. I tried a compress and washing my eyelids very gently with anti bacterial soap and then I started using a cream made for styes and it just went away on its own but here we are a few weeks later and I have one on my upper left eyelid so I’ll continue to follow your advice and just wash my face a few times a day daily to keep my oily skin under control.
It has happened for the second time now in less than two months, and at the same spot: right eye, lower eyelid, near the nose.
Sorry to hear that, they can come back at times.
I’ve had a chalazion for 1 month now and I can honestly say it’s the worst thing that ever happened to me. I’m so insecure about it and it’s very noticeable on my eyelid.
Thank you for this video. It is very helpful!
Nice to see some good info and straight to the point.
I have one inside my eyelid and it’s been there for about 2-3 months 😐
I have a Chalazion(i think) on the top of my eyelid which I have has for about 3 months. Recently I went to the dermatologist and he gave me a antibiotic pill and a eye cream. I have been using the cream and pill for about 2 days now and the cyst/sty is becoming a little more pointy with a bit of a white tip and hurts a little more. Does this mean the medication is working and the cyst/sty is becoming ready to pop on its own? Thanks you
I never had one until February. After spending $1200 at a Las Vegas Ophthalmologist, using cleansers and warm compresses daily, its BACK. Seems to follow heavy dairy and protein intake, ugh !
I have one right now and hot compresses didn't make it go away. I even tried pressing with the compress and popping it with a needle but the thing is too deep and I couldn't stick it very much without being too painful to stab any deeper. I hate having to go to the doctor. Is there any other way to get it to unblock at home? It feels pretty hard to the touch when I press on it like an inflated ball or tire.
Hi.. I have a swollen eye, just the left one. I have had it for a 1 and a half day now and it is getting more swollen og red. What should I do? Do you think the warm compress will work on me? How long does it take to go away using that method? Please help me as soon as possible!
I use a clean washed cut raw potato nuked in the microwave for 2 minutes to do a compress. It holds the heat. Just wrap it in a soft clean washcloth, it's great.
I woke up with one yesterday. I don't notice any redness yet although it sort of hurts when I blink so I went right to the warp compress. It helps to warm it in the microwave for 5-10 seconds so I don't have to go run it under hot water every 90 seconds
Does crying help because it didn’t hurt after I cried to the pain
Mr Porter!! Thanks for your advise, greettings from Colombia!!
EyePorter: I have had a bothersome stye on my lower lid for a good few years now. It is white, and only bothersome when my eyes are itchy, or when it shows up in professional pictures - this leads to my question, as I am a professional singer who heavily relies on my appearance for my performances. It has grown and shrunk sporadically during this time, where it has never fully gone away. It is currently at a larger stage, and I am currently using an eyelid cleanser to help with keeping the area
I should also be clear and state this stye is not inside the lid - it rests where my eyelashes are, and it is apparent the eyelash itself where the eye stye is located is being clogged.
Informative video thanks. I am going thought this myself for the first time.
Good on you.
she says it doesnt bother her like no pain and the size sometimes changes with like temperature from like a pea sized to like almost not being there. i think its weird idk i never had one before, but il try to convince her to go to the docs thank you again.
Thank you that hot compress really helped and reduced the swelling my eye is many times better.
How long have your stye been on your eye ?
What if you had a sty over the Summer and its getting kinda bigger is that bad?
ever since i was little I've been getting a sy really bad, every month i have one and mine are big so everyone can see it there is no hiding it its horrible and ive gone to the doctors but they jut told me to put a warm wash cloth but it never works for me i use baby wash but even then it does not work i dont know what to do because it is honestly so embarrassing
So I've had this ball on my eye for 5 years & it doesn't hurt or anything but your the expert & you said that they usually go away on their own so what do you think? Does mine still have a chance to go away on its own?
Did it go away?
Did it? Update?
I keep getting stye after stye what is the reason for this? I put hot compresses and they don’t seem to work what else can I do?
I got a small bump on my upper eyelid. I feel it inside but I can't see the bump from outside. This bump only formed 2 days ago but I am not sure if it's a stye.
This just happen to me...what did you do?
@@angellyka197 i have been going through from this problem like 2 times every next year. I put 5 grams of turmeric in 100ml hot water then take soft cotton clothe dip it in the turmeric water and do compresses. Then boom puss comes out of it in 3-4 days.

Hello. Doctor
I'm having a chalazion trouble from about 3 months. And now it is getting smaller but it's taking so much time to totally drain. I wouldn't like to operate my chalazion out is there a way to help me drain it faster and easier at home. I'd really appreciate!
I dont care about it I just wanna watch my youtube vids without blinking every second and getting pain lol
But the redness and swelling is gone and has been gone for 2 days. All that's left is that ugly bump on my eyelid. I want it GONE .........NOW!!!
Iv had 2 styes for 6 months now. They just won't go away
Hello. Your video helped a lot! I've got a question.
I never really had styes. I just immediately got chalazions. I have mine for about a month now, it's on the upper eyelid on the end. It's really big and I can't really blink, it looks awful as well. What can I do to make it go away? I tried warm compresses, but it isn't really helping a lot.
Thank you so much! Please answer.
So did you get rid of it
+NarWhalezFTW if a sty is worsening, it could spread infection throughout the eyelid. This could require antibiotics to help treat the infection. Would be a good idea to have your eye doctor take a look to see if you need any different treatment. Thanks for the question!
Please help, I got a pink eye after false lashes, removed it, however I keep getting reoccurring pink eyes then my doctor gave me oral antibiotics got one month, I’m in the third week. It’s improving but not 100 percent and there is still some inflammation. Some doctors say it’s allergic reaction, allergic conjunctivitis, blephariris( don’t have a history, also my glands work well I see the oil like baby oil when I express it. I don’t know if my bump on top of my lash line is a sty or allergic reaction to glue
Thanks for the explanation and advice👍
I worry if the operation done later, the recovery might be less satisfactory and my eyes will therefore look mishaped or whatever... I am in a very hard situation as i am studying in the UK where you need to wait for ages to see a specialist yet to fly back to my home country will also cost money, time and interrupt my study.
Have had this for over a month and have tried warm compresses to no avail.
about how much is a reasonable cost of a surgical removal in California. I've had it for about three months now and giving up on self treatments antibiotics and eye drops.
It's hard to guess how much it would cost. Insurance generally covers the procedure, but without insurance it may be les than $500? Please let us know if you found out the cost there, thanks.
I was diagnosed 4mm cyst inside my eyelids. The cyst is blurring my vision. I am applying warm compress and message as prescribed(more than 1 month). The question is: does the blurry vision get cured. Will i return my previous vision?
What are the risks of surgically getting rid or the stye yourself?
This sounds dangerous. Hard to guess all the risks but probably would include infection, bleeding, and injury to the eyeball.
Droopy eyelids if its really small
i have 2 styes on my bottom eyelid and ive tried warm compreses but it wont work ive had it for 2 months already almost what can i do
same but its on my top eyelid :/ ):
Well its not a stye, it used to be and now its a big thing .....):
Esme Estrada Maybe green tea bags could work.
Alright
Dry rice in a sock, heated a little in a microwave seems works better than water on a wash cloth because the heat seems to remain more constant and radiating. It seems to work faster in shrinking a chalazion or sty. tea bags work pretty well too, but rice in a clean clean sock holds good heat. FYI
I get sty every month, when i go to Dr they just give me some antibiotics or eye drops but would you kindly tell me a long term solution please, i am sick of this sty
My left eye has a stye under the bottom of the eyelid I am using a warm clothes and placing it near the stye for about 4-5min
It helps.to get rid of the iciness caused by it for a short period of time
I hav stye on my both the eye .😧 I had it for several months nearly to a year 😣 .what should I do ? Should I hav to do Wat Dr said or to face a sergery .....
Harsa Snehita it’s best if u have a surgery
I've had a chalazion for a couple of months now. With warm compresses it has turned very red and formed a large white head on the outside of my lid. It looks like it wants to pop but won't no matter how hard I massage it. Is there any problem with me trying to help it with an acupuncture needle. I've had three cut out in the past and my ophthalmologist is reluctant to do any more surgeries unless I go on antibiotics every 6 months. I can't do this because of my gut. He is worried about scar tissue around my eyes. Everything I have read says not to pop them but no one ever says why not.
Thank you very much for sharing this information with me Dr, and for taking the Time out of your schedule for us :)
Thanks sir your guidance about the treatment for under eye area is very useful.. i just want to ask this that i have operated my cataract operation.. and I'm the patient of eye disease Retinitis Pigmentosa and after operated cataract i see puffyness under my both eyes.. it has been 8 months ago my eyes were treated.. please sir let me know how I can treat my puffyness under the eyes and reduce it completely, is it possible ?
thanks for the reply took about 2 days before it healed and looks normal again :]
This has been really really helpful
Thank you
I've seen a removing surgery.. and I freaks me out so much..
Is there any way to get it removed, without any cutting in the eye?
I have been getting them on both top and lower eye lids for over 2 years and there is one that's on my right upper eye lid towards my nose more and has not drained or gotten smaller in about 4 months
Thankyou this was very useful im a 17 year old girp and normally have very dry skin so i was confused at first its gone so big i cant open my eyelid anymore and ive been prescibed antibiotics for it but i hate taking them i want to get rid of the sty ASAP so i will be trying the hot compress method
Thank you :) I did and I look soo much better now!
If the oil gland has scar tissue blocking it, is removal by a doctor inevitable? I get dry eyes and itching on the lower lid right where the glands are. I think scratching it (that sounds so bad) caused and infection for a week or two and the lump formed after. It's not very big but I'm very careful now not to "scratch" when I have an itch (I rub lightly). The hot towels feel good and help with the dry eye too (I do use OTC drops).
Surgical excision of a blocked oil gland is not inevitable, but may be needed in some cases. Usually it is not scarring that blocks the gland but thick oils. Warm compresses are often a good solution.
Thanks a lot for the reply, dear Dr.
Thanks for posting this. Very informative and helpful. I've had a sty on my lower lid for a while now and it's making me nuts. I'm going to try the treatment plan you (as well as my doc) recommended (warm compress, etc.)...my doc also gave me some erythromycin ointment..hope it works, otherwise I'm going to get it lanced.
all right,and when can i begin the warm compresses,,because i have already a week.
Thank u for the info Dr my 2 yr old has a sty on her upper eyelid, its been this way for 3 weeks now very red,im applying an eye ointment but still its not very affective,it's hard using a warm compress ,do u have any more advice.
Thank you
I just had an operation due to chazalion on my lower right eye. Now another big one recurred. Im afraid there will be a third. What should i do? Are there tablets to take? I hate anesthesia. Makes my me feel drugged and cannot think well.
I somehow got two styes in one day on one eye inside of the eye like underneath the top eyelid and it is very annoying it feels like it's constantly scratching my eye as if there's wood chips in my eye I don't know what to do other than the compress thing I just can't wait till they go away I can't stop blinking and looking around
my son had recurring sty,his eye lid would swell up.sometimes it would take months for sty to go.Until one day my muslim doctor said wash his eye with honey. He said add a few drops of warm water to the honey so you can apply it easily and wash his eye with the honey every morning and before bed.. And it worked his swelling went down the next day and his stye went by day four. it has been 6 months now his had no sty
Do you put the honey on the outer or inner of the eye ?
what can i do to avoid having red swollen eyes ? i get it every year and it happens when i wake up to find out one of my eyes ir swollen and red. is there any way to avoid this from happening again ?
I am having recurring styes since a year now. The latest one isnt going. I am scared of any kind of procedure. Please help
Thanks for your reply!! Luckily the stye is pretty much gone. No more pain and not that much visible. It's been 7 days and I still have the stye but it's real small. Is it supposed to be COMPLETELY gone by now? A week later?
i have a chalazion for over 3 years now.i wanted to get it surgical removed but i was not financially ready....my question is ,what exactly is this anti-biotic oinment ?what is the name of the product? and how can it be used along with warm compressors? can an anti-oxidant liquid be added to the warm compressora to keep it clean?
yesterday i woke up with a stye i put ice on it and it got bigger. then i put hot compress with salty water and at night a hot tea bag. today i woke up with my eye halfway closed from being swollen. what should i do? and when is it time to see a doctor or can i go to the ER would they know what to do? thank you for ur video. hope u can answer soon thanks again
What you could do besides a washcloth is use a hard boiled egg the heat is constant that way you don't have to keep getting up
Oh I got this a few times before but never really knew what it was... for me it usually doesn't last that long and goes away on its own.. but I have an event to attend to tomorrow so I'm searching a remedy for it.... I woke up with it yesterday and I noticed it was a bit more swollen today but yet less painful but its itchy. ... I thought of using some warm water ... but just thought I'd do some research first before trying so I'll give it a try and see what happens.
It's been 2 months since I've taken the surgery and it is still not going away . There is redness and swelling on the lid. The bump is still there . What should I do now?😞
Ridhi Ranka you got the surgery to remove the eye style or the chalazion ?
Any update ? I hope you are better.
How do you know whether your stye is healing 100 percent? I have been applying ointment on my stye after I bought the medicine from the clinic. I kept doing hot compressed. Soon the pus from the stye on my upper eyelid drain out 3-4 times. Although the stye reduced smaller but still.... the stye haven't gone yet. What should I do? I want the stye to disappear completely. Please help! Thanks!
Good afternoon doc... I have a big bump. And I think it is under my eyelid since it is not really red at all. What should I do? It keeps on getting bigger and bigger though it doesn't affect my sight yet.... Please help me
