I Stye (#2119)

A couple of weeks ago I was on a flight from STL to ATL and my left eye was really bothering me - felt like I had something in my eye the whole trip, but I couldn't find it. When we landed I went to the restroom and managed to see that I had what I can only describe as an in-grown eyelash. It was sort of curled back in on itself and part of it was caught under the eyelid causing irritation.

By afternoon I had developed a whopping stye in exactly the same place as that in-grown eyelash. Boy, does that hurt. According to AllAboutVision the best treatment is mostly doing nothing - maybe use a little ointment or eyedrops to increase comfort. I have antibiotic opthalmic ointments and homeopathic eyedrops. Guess that's all I can do for it at the moment.

It's a beautiful day for a motorcycle ride, but I'm not sure I want to ride with only one good eye...
