You should never attempt to pop a stye on your own, as this can lead to an eye infection. In the early stages of a stye, antibiotic eye drops can be applied. It's important to rest and apply warm compresses to the affected area. When the lump becomes fluctuant, surgical treatment is recommended. The purpose of stye surgery is to drain the pus from the lump and promote its absorption. The procedure is straightforward and can be performed as follows: 1. First, administer local anesthesia to the affected area. 2. Once the anesthesia takes effect, use a sharp blade to puncture the lump and thoroughly drain the pus. 3. Remove the cyst wall as completely as possible, avoiding any residue. 4. Then, remove the meibomian gland clamp, apply antibiotic ointment, and bandage the eye with pressure. 5. Change the dressing the next day, and if necessary, take oral antibiotics.
