“…I found Thera Life and started with 2 capsules morning & 2 at night plus hot compresses and cleaning with Avenova eye lid cleanser. Within a month I noticed a huge difference. I have been stye free ever since…”

A stye is caused by a blocked oil gland (meibomian gland) in the eyelid that becomes infected. It results in a swollen, pus-filled nodule on the upper or lower part of the lid that is inflamed and infectious. The most frequent cause of styes is staphylococcus aureus. Styes can be uncomfortable, red, and painful. A stye is often confused with a chalazion – chalazia are smaller than styes and are not painful. The good news is styes are usually harmless. However, for people with meibomian gland dysfunction, recurring styes can be an issue.
Stye symptoms may include tearing, crustiness around the eye, or a scratchy feeling in the eye. A stye may be mistaken for a chalazion. (A chalazion is a blocked oil gland on the eyelid that also causes swelling, but a chalazion is not caused by an infection.)
Most styes clear up within 7 to 10 days with warm compresses, eyelid cleansing, and, when prescribed by a healthcare professional, antibiotics. To treat a stye at home, clean your eyelids with a commercial eyelid scrub—we highly recommend our Eyelid Cleanser—and apply a warm compress for 5 to 10 minutes twice daily.
Always wash your hands before touching the affected area. Never squeeze the stye, and avoid rubbing your eyes. If you normally wear contact lenses, switch to glasses until the stye has healed.
If the stye does not begin to improve within 48 hours, consult your doctor. You may need antibiotic or anti-inflammatory eye drops, or the stye may need to be professionally drained.
Follow the TheraLife® protocol for recurring styes associated with meibomian gland dysfunction and blepharitis. Inflammation associated with these conditions may contribute to dry eyes and recurring styes.
TheraLife® Eye Enhanced supports the tear-secreting glands’ ability to produce naturally balanced tears. By relieving dry-eye symptoms and promoting a healthier ocular environment, TheraLife® may help reduce the risk of recurring styes.
