Stye and chalazion

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