22 Safe and Simple Ways to Treat That Stye on Your Eye

12. A Warm Compress

Perhaps the easiest and most widely used treatment for styes is a warm compress. This simple remedy is very effective for treating styes and is recommended by doctors. It quickly reduces swelling and heals styes within four days at most. Create a warm compress by heating water on a stove or with an electric kettle until it is warm. Pour some water into a cup or bowl. Soak a clean washcloth or makeup pad in the water, wring out any excess, and place the cloth or pad onto the affected eye. Relax while the warm cloth or pad sits on the stye. Repeat this process as many times as needed.
