DIY Heat Compress to Reduce Stye

What works for me to reduce a stye is to apply a heat compress directly to the eye. Using a clean face cloth, wet with water. Squeeze out the excess and place the face cloth on a microwave safe plate and microwave for 20 seconds, or until wash cloth is warm.

Before applying the cloth directly onto your swollen eye, check the cloth's temperate against your palm to see if the temperate is okay. Place warm face cloth against your eye until the cloth cooled down and repeat for 5-10 minutes, until your eye feels better. Repeat the process once a couple of hours.
