Hello Lybrate user. Styes are due to bacterial infection. Recurrent styes problems can be very well solved with the help of Homoeopathic treatment. It need proper treatment.

2. Frequent rubbing of eyes can cause recurrent stye in both eyes. If there is any other lid pathology also this can happen.
Use good anti-allergic drugs, a good lubricating drop (like Refresh tears 3-4 times/day). Avoid rubbing your eyes. If you have irritation wash with cold water or place a cube of ice over your closed eyes light...more
