Can an online doctor treat a stye?

Yes—many styes can be evaluated and treated via telemedicine. We typically recommend warm compresses and, when appropriate, prescribe antibiotic eye drops or ointment.

When should I seek in-person care for a stye?

Seek in-person or specialist care if vision changes, severe pain, swelling beyond the eyelid, recurrent styes, or symptoms that do not improve or worsen despite treatment.
