This is only the second sty I've ever had. The first one was about 15 yrs. ago. I don't think I'm deficient in Vit.A since I eat a lot of fruits and veggies high in beta carotene and Vit. A. I think it's just a case of some germ getting in there from rubbing my eyes. The colloidal silver sounds interesting... Are you sure it's safe to use in the eyes?

When I'm using CS for my eyes, I put in a couple of drops several times a day. One drop once a day is probably not enough. What are you using the CS for? I'm not familiar with most CS brands, including the one from INP, since I make my own. You might want to join the CS list. (I'm changing email programs at the moment, so don't have the address. Ask me in a few days if you don't have it by then.) Regards, Nina Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 12, 2007 Report Share Posted August 12, 2007 Generally I get styes when I rub my allergy irritated eyes. Antibiotic eye drops work, but I can't use them so I wait for them to go away. Lynda At 06:54 PM 8/12/2007, you wrote: >Hi ladies, > >I noticed a little bit of pain under my left eye >this morning.

Guest guest Posted August 12, 2007 Report Share Posted August 12, 2007 I don't want anything to do with antibiotics. I guess I could wait it out too, I wish it didn't hurt so much.
