Review of effective eye drops for stye

Symptoms of stye

Symptoms that accompany the appearance of stye on the eye:

• The eyelid in the area of ​​inflammation begins to itch.
• Pain occurs when blinking or when trying to touch the eye.
• The eyelid swells.
• The lacrimation intensifies.
• It seems to a person that something foreign has entered his eye.
• A yellow blister appears on the eyelid. It becomes noticeable on the 3rd day from the appearance of the first signs of barley.
• After 4-5 days, the stye opens and pus comes out.

If a person’s immunity is depleted, then the body temperature may rise. Sometimes general symptoms of intoxication of the body occur. The patient begins to have a headache, and the lymph nodes increase in size. A similar clinical picture develops in children and in people with frequently recurring styes.

General recommendations for use

The pharmaceutical industry offers a wide range of medications that can be purchased at pharmacies without a prescription. Still, it will be better if the remedy is chosen by an ophthalmologist, taking into account the course of the disease. The doctor has the necessary knowledge base that will help him choose an effective drug.

Eye drops for stye on the eye are divided into two groups:

• antibiotic products. Act directly on the causative agent of the disease;
• drugs based on sulfonamides. They have both bactericidal and bacteriostatic effects. This means that such drops can not only stop the development and growth of pathogenic microflora, but also completely neutralize it.

Antibiotic eye drops for children

For barley, medications are used in the form of ointments and drops. Drops are the most preferred option. Their use is less traumatic and does not cause severe discomfort. Applying ointment for barley in children can be very difficult.

Before talking about which medicine for styes on the eye to give preference to, it is important to understand the basic rules for using these drugs. Before the procedure, be sure to wash your hands with soap. A new pipette should be selected for each drug. During instillation, the pipette should not touch the mucous membrane of the eye. If you are using several eye drops at the same time, remember to leave a fifteen-minute interval.

Let's look at step-by-step instructions for using eye drops:

1. Sit comfortably and tilt your head back slightly.
2. Slowly pull back the lower eyelid and roll up the eyeball.
3. Place one or two drops into the conjunctival sac. It still won’t accommodate more.
4. Close your eyes and sit in this position for five minutes. It is recommended to gently massage the inner corners of the eye.
5. Rinse the used pipette, boil and dry.

Eye drops for stye on the eye should be applied with washed hands.

Barley stages

Barley goes through the following stages of development:

1. Infiltrative stage.

   At this time, a person experiences itching and burning in the eyelid area, it becomes swollen. This stage lasts no more than 3 days.

2. Stage of suppuration.

   If barley does not resolve, then an abscess forms on the eyelid. It is round, transparent, filled with whitish contents.

3. Breakthrough stage.

   The capsule with pus either ruptures on its own or is opened by a doctor. The pus comes out and may ooze for several more days.

4. Healing stage.

   A crust forms over the stye, under which the skin regenerates.

Causes of stye

Barley appears on the eye due to Staphylococcus aureus. This microbe always lives on human skin and hair, as it belongs to the opportunistic flora. Streptococci rarely provoke the appearance of barley. These microorganisms begin to actively multiply when a person’s immunity decreases.

Therefore, the causes of barley may be the following:

• Prolonged exposure to cold on the body.
• Stress, illness, overwork, excessive physical activity, poor nutrition, adherence to strict diets. All these factors negatively affect the state of the immune system.
• Vitamin deficiency in the body.
• Diabetes mellitus, in which the blood supply to the organs of vision is impaired.
• Diseases of the digestive system. At the same time, the body does not fully absorb nutrients.
• The presence in the body of Staphylococcus aureus species resistant to antibacterial drugs.
• The presence of a chronic inflammatory process in the body, for example, caries, adenoids, tonsillitis.
• Hereditary predisposition.
• Infection of the body with helminths.
• Hygiene errors. The infection can be brought into the eyelid by dirty hands.
• Use of contact lenses. By themselves, they cannot cause the formation of barley, but in combination with other risk factors they can lead to inflammation.

Prevention of meibomitis

To protect yourself from stye, you need to periodically visit an ophthalmologist and promptly treat eye diseases. It’s easier to prevent a disease so you don’t have to fight it.

The main rule for the prevention of any inflammatory disease is good hygiene. Do not neglect the cleanliness of your eyes. You should only touch the mucous membranes of the eye with clean hands. So, if you need to scratch your eye, you should wash your hands first.

In windy weather, it is advisable to protect your eyes from foreign bodies getting into them. Sunglasses will help with this. They will also help protect your eyes from getting cold and dry.

Increase the body's defenses in the fight against infection. Sports and healthy eating are the main components of strengthening the immune system. If necessary, you can additionally take multivitamin complexes.

Stye in a child

The causes of stye in children are similar to those that cause inflammation in adults. At the same time, the pathology itself is more severe in young patients. This is due to the imperfection of the immune system. In addition, stye bothers the child; he rubs his eye with his hands. This negatively affects the course of the disease. Therefore, barley in childhood is often complicated by an abscess, phlegmon, blepharitis or chalazion.

The fiber that covers the inside of the eyelid in children is loose, so inflammation quickly spreads to the surrounding tissues. Severe pathology can cause meningitis. Therefore, the appearance of barley in a child requires contacting a doctor. If the disease is complicated by other pathological processes, hospitalization is necessary.

Prices for treatment for barley

First aid rules

If you take action immediately after the appearance of barley, you can quickly cope with inflammation. Therefore, treatment should begin when itching and pain occur in the eyelid area.

• Use of antiseptics.

  You need to moisten a piece of cotton wool in vodka or alcohol. The alcohol is first diluted with water in equal proportions. Then the cotton wool is squeezed out well and applied to the area of ​​redness, to the base of eyelash growth. It is important to ensure that the alcohol composition does not come into contact with the mucous membranes of the eye. This treatment allows you to get rid of barley in 1 day. The alcohol can be replaced with iodine or brilliant green.

• Applying dry heat.

  For this purpose, boil an egg, which is wrapped in a cloth and applied to the sore eye. The egg is left until it cools down. The egg can be replaced with salt or flax seed. They need to be preheated in a frying pan.

Dry heat can only be applied if the stye has not yet festered. After the appearance of pus, this method of treatment is not practiced.

Symptoms

In order to correctly identify the problem that has arisen, you need to know a number of symptoms that distinguish stye from other eye infections. It will be especially easy to make a diagnosis yourself if the stye is external; a visual examination will be enough to immediately identify the disease and go to the doctor.

Here are some characteristic symptoms of stye:

• swelling of the eyelid;
• burning in the eye;
• profuse lacrimation;
• sensation of a foreign body in the eye;
• a blister on the eyelid with yellow liquid inside;
• discomfort when trying to blink;
• When palpating the eye, moderate pain is felt;
• possible increase in body temperature.

Typically, all of the listed symptoms begin to appear in the patient sequentially, replacing or complementing each other.

With the internal type of stye, the internal part of the organs of vision is affected, swelling forms on the mucous membranes. In 85% of cases, such a disease will lead to the development of complications in the form of a chalazion or a chronic form of hordeolum.

Treatment of barley

To cope with the disease, you need to use antibiotic drops and ointments. If the disease is severe, systemic medication is required. Provided that the stye does not open on its own, it is sanitized in the hospital.

Application of drops.

Drops help stop the spread of inflammation throughout the eyelid.

Before you start applying the ointment, you need to wash your hands well. The product is applied to the finger. The eyelid is pulled back and the drug is placed in it. If a person receives treatment at home, then ointments can be used during the daytime.

When purchasing a medicine, you need to clarify that the drug is for the eyes. The fact is that leather treatment products are produced under similar names. However, they contain more active ingredients. Such products will harm your eyes.

Ointments containing corticosteroids are not used to treat barley. In case of purulent inflammation they are contraindicated.

Antibiotics for oral administration.

If the disease is severe, the doctor may prescribe oral antibiotics. Such therapy is most often required by patients with reduced immunity, as well as children.

More often than others they prescribe:

• Doxycycline.

After the abscess has opened, the patient’s eyes are washed with antiseptic agents. This can be a solution of Furacilin, or a solution of Sulfacyl sodium with a concentration of 30%.

The drug is instilled into the eye, and its excess is removed with a sterile bandage.

Assistive therapy.

If a person’s body temperature rises, he is prescribed drugs from the NSAID group, for example, Paracetamol or Ibuprofen.

The patient should eat a high-quality diet; additional intake of vitamins and minerals and brewer's yeast is possible.

Physiotherapy.

The patient may be prescribed physiotherapeutic measures such as: UHF or microwave therapy. The course lasts 4-6 days.

What to do if the barley has not opened?

If the stye does not open on its own, then you need to consult a doctor. On the 6-7th day from the onset of the disease, the doctor will carefully open and sanitize the purulent focus. After such manipulations, scar tissue does not form.

• During treatment you should not use eye cosmetics.
• You should not apply wet lotions to your eyes.
• It is forbidden to heat purulent barley.
• You cannot go to the sauna or bathhouse.
• Do not rub the sore eyelid with your hands.
• You should not go outside during the cold season. If this is not possible, then cover the eye with a dry, clean bandage.

Causes of internal stye on the eyelid

From a clinical point of view, barley is an acute local purulent inflammation of infectious etiology. In the vast majority of cases (at least 95%), the causative agent is Staphylococcus aureus. Favorable conditions for its introduction and rapid reproduction are weakened immunity, sanitary and hygienic negligence, hypothermia, background somatic or endocrine pathology, helminthiasis, demodicosis, hypovitaminosis, chronic infectious foci in organs and tissues adjacent to the eyelid. The site of the onset and course of the infectious-inflammatory process is usually the sweat glands of Moll or the sebaceous glands of Zeiss, located in the ciliary zone and emerging through the mouths at the ciliary bases, as well as the eyelash follicles themselves. Styes occur with approximately equal frequency on both the upper and lower eyelids; sometimes they appear in both eyes at the same time.

Why is barley dangerous?

The main danger is that you may misdiagnose. So, if you start treating barley incorrectly, then it simply won’t go away for a long time and in addition you can exhaust your body. If you start squeezing out the pus, it may instead spread throughout the body, and you will get blood poisoning or brain damage.

And here you will have to go to the hospital for treatment in any case. With this in mind, you should be especially careful when rinsing your eyes with tea, and under no circumstances apply pressure during this action. You should approach the diagnosis even more carefully; under no circumstances confuse barley with any other disease.

Possible complications:

• Relapses of pathology. If the immune system is weakened and the inflammation has not been completely stopped, then stye on the eye will appear again.
• Purulent conjunctivitis. It develops due to the spread of infection to the conjunctiva.
• Chalazion. In this case, a cyst forms on the eyelid in the area of ​​the sebaceous glands. It will be filled with liquid.
• Phlegmon of the orbit. It is formed due to the fusion of several abscesses. A person's eye pain intensifies, the eyelid swells, pus begins to separate from the eyes, body temperature rises, and vision deteriorates. The eyeball protrudes, its mobility will be difficult.
• Thrombosis of the cavernous choroid plexus. This complication does not develop often. The patient develops exophthalmos, the eyelids swell and turn blue. The eye hurts greatly, the white becomes engorged with blood, vision deteriorates, and there may be double vision.
• Thrombophlebitis of the vessels of the eye. This pathology develops due to damage to the veins by bacteria. The eyeball and eyelids become bloodshot, the person experiences severe headaches. The eyes get tired quickly.
• Meningitis. If bacteria spread to the brain, inflammation occurs. This leads to increased body temperature, vomiting, and intense headaches. The person may fall into a coma and die.
• Sepsis. Blood poisoning is associated with a high probability of death. Body temperature rises to high levels, a rash appears all over the body, and blood pressure drops. The patient is unconscious. The work of all internal organs and systems is disrupted.

Treatment methods for internal stye

One of the questions is how to treat a purulent formation. It is possible to get rid of the disease that has arisen in the first stages of its manifestation. First, they often perform dry heating and treat the affected area with disinfectants and antibacterial drugs.

Before any procedures, you must
wash your hands thoroughly .
The application of the antiseptic is carried out with a cotton swab strictly on the outside, not the inside, of the affected eyelid. It is well moistened in medical alcohol, always a solution, or another antiseptic. Next, with the edge of a cotton pad or stick, the area of ​​the eyelid near the eyelash is cauterized , where redness and a feeling of discomfort are noticeable. In this case, the antiseptic should not get into or come into contact with the eye. This phenomenon provokes irritation, lacrimation and burning pain.

What can you substitute if you don’t have alcohol on hand? In the absence of pharmaceutical alcohol, the antiseptic is replaced with iodine, hydrogen peroxide or another alcohol tincture . If necessary, medical alcohol is diluted with boiled water in proportions of 50% to 50%.

Warming up on the eye is carried out with caution ; a dry and smooth object is applied. A salt warmer, which is sold at a pharmacy, or an unpeeled boiled egg, covered with a sterile cloth or scarf, are excellent. Boiled potatoes are also suitable for warming up barley. It is covered and wrapped in fresh, yet dry cloth.

You can make a hot water bottle with salt at home yourself.

First, heat table salt in a frying pan and place it in a cotton cloth. Warming up is carried out regularly every 3 hours. The heating pad is held against the lower or upper eyelid until it cools down. The procedure can be both useful and harmful; its use is only with the permission of the attending physician.

Warming up the eyelid is allowed only at an early stage of the disease. Otherwise, the pus does not flow out, but into the inner space of the eyelid. As a result, an abscess boil will appear. The procedure is prohibited when the patient has a fever, even low-grade fever, or is experiencing any chronic disease.

The most effective are ointments, creams and drops prescribed by the doctor. Drug therapy is carried out through:

1. Erythromycin ointment.
2. Tetracycline ointment.
3. Hydrocortisone ointment.
4. Phloxala.
5. Levomikol.

Folk remedies for treatment

Infusions of chamomile and sage are effective in the fight against lower or upper internal barley . For a glass of boiling water you will need 1⁄2 tsp. dried grass. The remedy is infused. Then it should be strained through a sieve, gauze or thick cloth and then used for washing and lotions several times a day.

Lotions made from plantain tincture are especially effective . Dry grass in the amount of 3 tbsp. pour a glass of boiling water, infuse and filter after half an hour. Lotions are applied several times a day.

In addition, you can take an infusion of nettle and birch leaves . To do this, you will need to pour 750 ml of water with 3 tbsp. herbal collection. The product is brought to a boil, boiled for a minute, filtered, and taken before meals 4 times a day, 150 ml. The course of treatment lasts 21 days. The break is 2 weeks. Then treatment must be resumed.

Carefully selected treatment leads to rapid relief from meibomitis. Preventative measures against internal styes in the lower and upper eyelids include strengthening the immune system, proper nutrition, personal hygiene, and timely treatment of other diseases.

If there is a predisposition to the formation of abscesses, then it is important to regularly visit an ophthalmologist, who will help identify an abscess at an early stage of development.

Possible complications

If the patient does not very quickly begin the treatment prescribed by the doctor or carelessly follows all the recommendations, this will lead to side diseases :

• the acute (active) form will turn into chronic and will regularly cause discomfort and pain;
• thrombosis of the cavernous sinus;
• complication of meibomitis - conjunctivitis or blepharitis;
• thrombophlebitis of the orbital veins;
• surgery to remove the abscess;
• in extreme cases, inflammation of the membranes of the brain, partial or complete loss of vision, and even death.
