A small number of pin eyes will go away on their own, but if the condition is more severe, it may not go away on its own and will need to be treated with drops or ointments. Needle eyes are medically known as blepharitis, or endophthalmitis if the lid gland is infected, or exophthalmitis if the sweat or sebaceous glands of the eyelid are infected. In the early stages of a pinhole, the eyelid is often visibly red and painful. In a few patients, the pain begins to decrease in 2-3 days, while a yellowish-white discharge appears in the corner of the eye, and the symptoms fade after a few days. If the patient’s condition is severe, edema may occur and the abscess may not subside on its own, at which time antibiotic drops or ointments need to be applied to aid treatment. If the symptoms last longer or the condition is more serious, it is recommended to visit an ophthalmologist for diagnosis and treatment. Cold compresses can be applied in the early stage of the needle eye to prevent the spread of inflammation, and hot compresses can be applied in the later stage to make the needle eye form pus bags quickly and accelerate the maturation of the needle eye to promote recovery.
