Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a stye take to heal?
Most styes resolve within 1-2 weeks with proper treatment. External styes typically heal faster than internal ones. Antibiotic treatment can speed healing and prevent complications.
Can I wear contact lenses with a stye?
Avoid contact lenses until the stye completely heals to prevent spread of infection and additional irritation. Switch to glasses during treatment period.
When should I seek medical treatment for a stye?
Seek care for styes that don’t improve within a few days, cause vision changes, spread to surrounding skin, recur frequently, or are accompanied by fever or severe pain.
