Care for Eyelid Styes

A stye is a tender, red bump that forms on the edge of the eyelid, usually from a blocked or infected oil gland. Most styes are not serious and improve with simple home care, though some benefit from additional treatment.

During a virtual visit, a licensed provider can review your symptoms and recommend a care plan, including prescription treatment when appropriate, and advise when an in-person eye exam is needed.

How Treatment Works

Most styes respond to warm compresses applied several times a day, which help the blocked gland drain. Your provider may recommend additional treatment in some cases and will advise an in-person exam if the bump is large, worsening, or affecting your vision.

Your visit is a flat $39 — a transparent, cash-pay rate with no insurance required.

When Telehealth Is a Good Fit

• A typical, tender bump on the eyelid
• Mild symptoms without vision changes
• Wanting guidance and treatment options from home

When to seek in-person care: Seek in-person eye care for vision changes, significant eyelid swelling, pain in the eye itself, or a stye that worsens or does not improve with home care.
