What to do if you have stye in your eyes

Stye, also known as sty, often occurs in daily life. So, what should we do after getting stye in the eye?

1. Early moist heat compress or magnetic therapy can promote infiltration absorption or rapid suppuration of nodules.

2. Surgical incision. When the inflammation is under control and pus accumulates to form a fluctuating feeling, it can be drained by incision, and the necrotic or granulation tissue can be properly cleaned. Depending on the situation, placement of a drainage strip can be considered. After the inflammation subsides, if there is still residual granulation tissue or nodules left, surgical removal can be performed again. However, it should be noted that the skin incision of the external hordeolum should be parallel to the eyelid margin, and the conjunctival incision of the internal hordeolum should be perpendicular to the eyelid margin. Avoid inappropriate squeezing to prevent the inflammation from spreading into the orbit and cranium, causing orbital cellulitis, cavernous sinus phlebitis, meningitis and abscess, which may be life-threatening.

3. For stubborn and recurrent cases, autoimmune therapy can be used. Patients with systemic fever and swollen preauricular and submandibular lymph nodes can be treated with antibiotics.

4. In addition, traditional Chinese medicine acupuncture can be used as a treatment method. Acupoints commonly used in acupuncture: Cuanzhu, Jingming, Sizhukong, Tongziliao, Yangbai, Yuyao, Sibai, Chengqi, Hegu, Lieque, Waiguan, etc. Generally, stye occurs on the upper eyelid near the palpebral string near the inner canthus, and the Zanzhu and Jingming points can be used; if it is near the outer canthus, the Sizhukong and Tongzilou points can be used.

More and more people today experience dry eyes and fatigue. About 60% of patients with eye fatigue suffer from dry eyes. The surface of the eye is covered by a tear layer. Tears are secreted from the lacrimal glands, moisten the surface of the eye through blinking, and are discharged from the tear puncta located at the inner corner of the eye.

There are two reasons for dry eyes: one is the reduced supply of tears, and the other is the increased evaporation of tears. The reduction of tears is a characteristic of modern people. Tears are less likely to flow when you are stressed and the amount of tears decreases at night. Tear production also decreases with age. There are more and more factors that reduce tear production, such as office automation equipment, night owl working lifestyle, increased social pressure, and dryness caused by the spread of air conditioners.

In addition, the reasons for the increase in evaporation are: the number of blinks decreases due to staring at the screens of computers and game consoles; and the oil layer on the surface of tears becomes unstable for some reason. The oil is secreted from the sebaceous glands at the edge of the eyelid, but it often becomes clogged. If you use a hot towel to compress your eyes, it will improve blood circulation and eliminate fatigue in the eye muscles.
