2. Introduction
• Dr. Anthony Roberts has extensive experience providing care in the field of
ophthalmology. In addition to performing procedures such as Lasik, Dr. Anthony
Roberts sees individuals who are experiencing eye problems such as sties.
A style, a type of inflammation that develops on a person’s eyelid, can be a
frustrating problem. Sometimes, sties resolve themselves on their own or with
basic, at-home treatment methods as recommended by a doctor. For instance, a
doctor might advise a person to place a warm compress against the closed eye
periodically throughout the day to reduce pain and swelling and encourage the
inflammation to drain. Over time, the sty will often come to a head and break
open with this approach.
Other types of sties, however, may present more of a problem. This is often the
case if the sty is located on the underside of the eyelid. These internal sties can
sometimes form a cyst that a doctor needs to drain. Other treatments for
troublesome sties might include antibiotics administered either to the area or in
oral form. If a person has a sty, it’s often a good idea to see a doctor for evaluation
and a recommended treatment plan.
