Poor you Lynn - hugs from Spain. I thought Golden Eye Ointment went off the shelves years ago - perhaps I am wrong. Mary in Spain xx

When Connie had hers, we were advised to place a hot (as you can bear) flannel over the sty every half hour or so, Elaine x

Lynn, I think the ointment that Jacqui in Spain maybe suggesting is called 'Golden Eye Ointment', if not - I've used that in the past and it's done the trick. Hope you feel better soon. Love Anne in North London xx

Wet a tea bag, pop it on your eye. The tannic acid will help....

LL I have never had one, but hubby used to get them regular there is a cream u can buy from the Pharmecia and it helps with the soreness as well as taking the stye down. Can't think whats it called but it is only a small tube and the chemist should know it Jacqui
