re: Stye Treatment and Recs

A stye develops due to a clogged oil gland. The warm compresses should help. Try doing them 2-3 times a day. Also try using some baby shampoo and washing your eyelids with it. Don’t try to pop it… it’ll just cause more issues.
If it doesn’t go away, or gets worse, a simple in office procedure can be done to drain it. They usually give you antibiotic ointment or drops to use afterward.
The increased mileage probably isn’t contributing to it, although sweat can cause the glands to clog. Hence the baby shampoo. Unfortunately, as we age the oil produced tends to get thicker and these things happen.
