Something happened to my eye too!!! It was super itchy yesterday, and today its all red and blurry because of the eye doo doo. maybe we have almost the same thing.
i think i had a mild case. because my eye was fine and then it felt like i had an eye lash in it so i kept touching it and scratching and then like 5 minutes later it got sty. but then 15 minutes later i put a cold tea bag on it and left it on for 30 minutes. the swelling went down immediately. i put another tea bag on it for like 20 minutes and within 15 minutes of taking it off, the sty was gone!
im not going to touch my eye for awhile though...just to be sure.
ok for one thing...stys don't just "go away" as the above noter said. i've had many stys...i get them all the time, been to the doctor for them.
a sty is a bump on your eye that is caused from extreme strain of the eye (i.e. reading in the dark, staring at the computer screen especially in the dark, too much tv, reading fine print, not wearing your glasses/contacts, etc)
if you want the "sty" to go away...since that's what you think you have. then don't put cold anything on it. that isn't going to do anything at all. put a warm wascloth on your eye until it cools off. do not use eye drops, repeat as much as needed. remember WARM not hot.
the above poster was me. and i do in fact think it just went away. its not there anymore. but at the same time its not like im going to just poke my fingers at it.
i dont know if it was a sty or not. it looked like a sty. but whatever, all i know is that i put the cold tea bag on it and it went away. and all is good.
yeah, its so odd that everything i read said to put something warm on it but my family members insisted on cold.
anyway, did you decide on if youre going to apply to the cruise ship? it would be an awesome experience. and i do think they pay you and give you room and board.
