Owner Reviews, Ratings, Comments and Criticism I can't live without these pads. Started using them a year ago, desperate to find something to help prevent my chronic periodic styes. These really work. I use every day, morning and night. I cut each pad into 3 pieces and use one at a time -- only takes a second to snip it, and the box lasts 3 times as long. You don't need a full pad at a time. After applying, I rinse it off one lid and leave it on the other more troublesome lower lid. It doesn't burn, feels fine, more of a clean feeling than a burn. Look for the "Extra Strength" version in the light blue box -- it's WAYYYYYYY better and not all foamy like the regular type in the dark blue box. You should find the cost to be the same -- it is at my drug store. Verdict: LOVE 'EM. In the last year I've only had one stye, instead of my monthly battles!
UPDATE: 26 Nov 2010: OK, here's what I've learned about my chronic styes on my lower right eye lid. I think I've pretty much solved the problem and I don't even need to use these pads or anything else any more. After a marathon research session on the web, I found one entry where the person said styes are often caused by the BACTERIA from your nose. So if you touch anywhere near the inside of your nostrils, and then your eyelid -- trouble will follow. The same is true, to a somewhat lesser extent, if you ever touch your lid with your fingers during the day, unless you just washed them -- you know all about the germs on your hands. So in the last year I have forced myself to do 3 things as a habit:
1. NEVER touch my eyes after my nostrils. PERIOD. Don't blow your nose and then a few minutes later touch your eyelashes -- BAD! Always wash/Purell my hands after touching my nostrils, and even wash the area around my nostrils.
2. Avoid touching eyes throughout the day. Just don't do it. Sometimes I will catch myself just as my hand is moving to my eye. If hands were just washed/Purelled, then OK.
3. Every time I wash my hands after using the bathroom at the office, I use the wet paper towel to cleanse my problem eye. So it gets wiped and cleansed a few times per day.
I've been doing this for a year now and have had no styes. I don't even use the pads any more, unless I just want to give my lid a good cleansing, or if I feel like there could be trouble on the horizon, nip it in the bud. So if you've been tortured with chronic styes, don't just blame it on "bad genes" -- blame it also on "operator error" -- change your habits and you will prevail!
