Can vigamox treat styes?

Vigamox (moxifloxacin) is an antibiotic eye drop used for treating bacterial eye infections, but it is not typically used to treat styes. Styes are usually caused by a blocked oil gland in the eyelid and can often resolve on their own or with warm compresses. If a stye is persistent or causing significant discomfort, it's best to see an eye doctor for appropriate treatment.
