Re-appearing eye styes

Posted , 3 users are following.

Hello,

For the last year, I keep having eye styes around both of my eyes and it is bothering me a lot.

There seems to be a two - four days period where I don't have them and then one or a few would come back again. In same or similar spots. Having said that, the styes are tiny and can only be seen if closely inspecting. They are annoying and itchy and go away in like 2 days all the time pretty much.

I was wondering if it can be associated with tired eyes or lack of essential vitamins or lack of water or the fact my eyelids are not 100% clean at all times....

Was wondering if anyone had this happen or has any information on what this condition is or how to treat it? Many Thanks!

    Shortly after having cataract surgery around 7 months ago, I had two huge styes. First one on the upper lid of one eye, then one on the lower lid of the other eye. It took weeks of treating them before they were gone. I haven't had any more since then and have been careful to keep my eyelids clean. I had heard that taking Flaxseed oil capsules was good to prevent them so I now take one every day. I think mine were caused by something in the meds after the surgery. Hope you can find a solution to your problem.
