The cause of styes is usually bacterial infection. They tend to be red and sore. They appear on the edge of the eyelid and due to the infection can fill with pus, causing pain and discomfort. Warm compresses can help promote drainage and healing. Antibiotic creams or drops may be prescribed if required.
Wet eye occurs when tears cannot be drained properly causing constantly watering eyes. The blockage may also cause a build-up of mucus in the nose, which can lead to infections. While infections can be treated with antibiotics, surgery is often needed to clear the blockage itself for lasting relief.
For any of the conditions above, it is advisable to seek advice from an ophthalmologist on treatment options. They can accurately diagnose the condition and recommend appropriate treatment based on the underlying cause.
