I have a tiny sty on the right eyelid. My doc told me to apply hot compress
3 times a day and it should go away. My question: How to apply hot compress?
I have never done that before.

This morning I woke up with swollen left eyelids.  Possibly an allergy
thing (I've been at my daughter's house since Saturday with one dog and
two cats who like to sleep in the bed I'm using).  I took a couple of

OK, when he gave me the new monovision lens, left for reading, he had me
