A stye will generally disappear by itself within a week or two but this can be sped up and soothed by the use of a warm compress. Simply wet a flannel or cloth with warm water, wring it out and press firmly against the eye for 10-15 minutes.

Are there any herbal or allopathic medicines available on the market for a stye in the eye?
An eye stye can be treated at home by applying a very warm compress for about 10 minutes per time, 3 to 4 times daily. using a wet, clean washcloth on the tender area. This treatment will aid in the suppuration of the stye; suppuration refers to the forming of a head on an infection, and the heat from the compress speeds up the white blood cells to fight the infection. Your physician may prescribe the application of antibiotic drops or antibiotic cream for the stye. If you have frequent styes, the prescription of an antibiotic ointment will prevent their recurrence. == == == == A stye should not be confused with a chalazion, which is a different type of eyelid bump. Often mistaken for a stye, a chalazion is an enlarged, blocked oil gland in the eyelid. A chalazion mimics a stye for the first few days, and then turns into a painless, hard, round bump. Most chalazia develop further from the edge of the eyelid than does a stye. Although the same treatment speeds the healing of a chalazion, the bump may linger for one to several months. If the chalazion remains after several months, your eye doctor may drain it or inject a steroid to facilitate healing.
I've had a stye for a month and it wont leave what do i do?
My parents had a sure-fire stye treatment: Make a cup of black tea (pour boiling water over a bag of black tea and steep for about 5 minutes). After the tea cools slightly, dunk a cotton ball into the tea. Squeeze out the excess and then apply to you closed eye, in the area of the stye. Repeat when the cotton ball cools off. (I always do this with the tea as hot as I can stand it.) Do this for about 15 minutes 2-3 times per day until the stye clears. I never have to do this more than a day or two. This works because the tannins in the tea draw the pus out of the stye. Good luck!
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). =]
