Shocked! Eating, drinking and having fun can actually cause this disease?

Recently, the Eyelid and Orbital Disease/Ocular Plastic Surgery Department of Aier Eye Hospital Affiliated to Wuhan University (Aier Eye Hospital Group Hubei General Hospital) has received many patients with styes. It is understood that most of them have suffered from sudden styes due to their "eating, drinking and having fun" lifestyle. Stye, commonly known as "stye", is also called hordeolum, which is a common inflammation of the eyelid margin, usually caused by bacterial infection.

Let’s talk about it today

Why "Eat, Drink and Have Fun"

Is it easy to induce sty?

So, everyone remember to pay attention

Clean eyes and eat a light diet

What should I do if I suddenly have a stye?

Zhao Min, deputy chief physician, deputy leader of the orbital and ocular plastic surgery group of Aier Eye Hospital Group, and assistant director of the eyelid orbital disease/ocular plastic surgery department of Aier Eye Hospital Affiliated to Wuhan University (Aier Eye Hospital Group Hubei General Hospital), said: Generally speaking, styes develop rapidly, and a stye can grow in 2 to 3 days. Apply cold compresses in the early stage, and then apply wet hot compresses when the nodules have not softened, 3-4 times a day, each time for 15 minutes. Antibiotics can also be used for treatment, such as erythromycin eye ointment. Do not squeeze it by yourself.

After 48 hours, if the stye does not begin to improve, the area of ​​redness and swelling gradually expands, and even an abscess appears, you should go to the hospital for medical treatment in time.

Tu Huifang, chief physician, leader of the ophthalmic plastic surgery group of Aier Eye Hospital Group, and director of the eyelid and orbital disease/ocular plastic surgery department of Aier Eye Hospital Affiliated to Wuhan University (Aier Eye Hospital Group Hubei General Hospital), reminds: When a stye has formed an abscess, it needs to be treated by incision and drainage; and when a stye has formed a granuloma, surgery is required to remove the granuloma. Stye surgery is an outpatient surgery and is very common, so there is no need to worry or be anxious.
