Is It OK to Pop a Stye?
MAR 10, 2014
Question:
If I pop the stye on my eye, will that cause more serious damage? Is it safe to pop it?
Answer:
No, it should not be "popped" for several reasons, and it may be a chalazion instead of a stye. Warm soaking of the inflamed area may speed healing, but if it persists, see an ophthalmologist.
