Hi doctor,I am attaching a picture of my wife\s left eye. I believe there is a stye or something else inside the left side of the eye. It has been around 8 to 10 days now. Earlier there was a pain in the eyes for the first 2 to 3 days. Later on, the pain was not there but I saw a lump or stye like structure in her left eye. I can also see a small lump from outside which appears like it is filled from inside. This is probably the first time happened with here. Also is it fatal? Kindly suggest what it is and the medications.
Hello. I have gone through your wife\s problems and seen the photo attached (attachment removed to protect patient identity). This condition is called a chalazion, it is a sequel of style and it happens when long-standing infection is set up in the eyelid glands. They are usually treated surgically unless resolving with a course of antibiotics. So my advice is that you please do the following. Avoid eye rubbing. Hot fomentation to the affected eye and massage the lid after giving heat. Tobramycin eye ointment two times a day for a week in the affected eye. It is necessary to meet an ophthalmologist in the following scenarios. If eyes become red, start having sticky discharge from eyes, vision becomes blurred, not responding to treatment even after a week.
