A stye is a "pimple" on the skin surrounding the eye, particularly the eyelid. It is an infection, but I have found that drinking lots of water can help you get rid of a stye easily.

Another way: If you put a teabag (wet with hot water) on the stye, it completely helps the swelling of the stye.

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). =]

How to get rid of a stye?

Stye eye swelling can be calmed by a tea compress. Simply cool very dark colored black tea to a room temperature, soak a wash cloth or peice of cotton and softly rub it on the swell. You can also hold it on for a few minutes for extra exfoliation. Dark, warm, black tea is also good for cleaning out eyes.
