The stye always went away virtually before it began! As an adult, and not being religious, I wondered if there wasn't something happening at an atomic level and so decided to rub the gold ring over on the stye WITHOUT saying the words and as I suspected, the stye disappears! Is it something to do with the gold atoms perhaps? As soon as any of my family feel that first tingle we rub ANY gold ring and VOILA! Hope this might help others...Regards Karen Hello..Re: Styes…..As a child, at the first sign of a stye staeting, my mother always rubbed her gold wedding ring on the stye, and then made the sign of the cross, along with the words “In the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit,Amen.

I stopped wearing makeup after a while, and I stopped getting styes. Coincidence? Perhaps. Actually, there is a "shell" I can feel in my lower eyelid right now - it's been there for a few months, but hasn't swelled up. It may very well be that eye makeup doesn't cause styes, but aggrivates pre-existing styes. This is definitely something that should be looked into.
