What Is a Stye?
8. Diagnosis
While a stye will generally disappear on its own, a patient may visit a doctor if unsure of what it is. To reach a diagnosis, the doctor interviews the patient and examines the eyelid. For a clearer view, the doctor may use a light and a magnifying tool.
After the diagnosis, the doctor may advice that the patient keeps the eyelid clean and wait for it to heal, or give treatment to reduce the discomfort.
