How to treat a stye if it is still swollen after using antibiotic eyedrops, and when does it need to be drained?

Doctor's Answer

It should be drained if it has failed to respond to 1-2 weeks of antibiotic eye drops.

The Incision and curettage procedure is a simple minor operation and can be done on the same day as your consultation. There is no visual downtime and you will be ready to return to work the next day.

Thank you.
