Stye and chalazion

Strategies to prevent styes and chalazia include good hygiene (e.g., hand and face washing, make-up hygiene, contact lens care). Recurrence can be reduced by treatment of associated conditions (e.g., blepharitis, ocular rosacea, elevated serum cholesterol). Patients prone to seborrhoea may use anti-dandruff shampoos on the eyelids to help prevent ductal blockages.
