In order to prevent a stye, firstly, make sure that you’re very careful about good hygiene when it comes to your eyes. This means you don’t touch your eyes unless you have washed your hands with soap first. You don’t go to sleep with eye makeup on and you don’t share your eye makeup or use someone else’s makeup. Also do not rub your eyes constantly because this could cause recurrent styes. And most importantly, incorporate 20-20-20 rule into your daily routine. Every 20 minutes, look 20 feet away for 20 seconds and blink.
