No, the alcohol can damage the surface of the eye. Instead, go to an eye doctor, and have her express the material from within the stye. It should then dry up and go away.

Can you go blind for popping a stye yourself?
No, you can`t go blind. If you accidently jab your eye with the needle it is possible to go blind, but not if you pop the stye. You shouldn`t pop a stye with a needle anyway - it does no good for it. You should have eye drops/and eye wash. Or have it for a long time and let it heal by itself (this should take 3 weeks to 2 years - but with correct treatment it should only take about a week). =]

A pouck or a stye. Quite a minor eye infection. Go see your doctor. Might give you some cream to put on inside of your eyelid. To treat at home for time being, you could use some kind of eye bath such as optrex. Read the label first. You can't use if you have cateracts. Hope it clears up soon :o)

How do you cure a stye?
Prepare a hot/very warm towel or a gauze that is slightly wet. Put that on to the stye 7 or 8 times a day. After that your stye should be gone. In case it isn't, you should contact a medical professional.First and foremost do NOT try to pop the stye. That is the worst thing to do for it as it will get infected (worse).You have two options, you can see your doctor and ask them to prescribe you with medicated eye drops that will help clear up the infection. Or, you can use a hot compress (warm wet wash cloth) for 5-10 mins, 3-4 times a day. Make sure that when you use a warm cloth you get a CLEAN one every time. This will help keep from spreading new bacteria. Avoid any make-up or moisturizer in that area. Try really hard not to touch. It should clear up on its own in a few days. If not I strong suggest going to see your doctor.
How long do you have styes for?
