What should I do if I have a stye?

If you have a stye, the best treatment is to apply warm water on a clean towel and hold it on the affected eye for at least 5 minutes, at least twice a day. Avoid touching or popping it. Styes usually go away on their own, but if it persists for more than 7 days after starting the warm compresses, it is recommended to consult an optometrist.
