I've had this stye on my lower left eyelid for weeks now. The doctor gave me antibiotics for 3 days and told me to use warm compresses, but it hasn't gotten any better. She mentioned an incision might be needed if it doesn't improve, but I'm really scared of any kind of eye surgery. Are there other options besides surgery to treat this stye? It's such a sensitive area and the thought of an operation freaks me out

My friends recently pointed out that my eyes aren't perfectly straight, just slightly off. I really don't want surgery and my parents aren't okay with it either. Is there any way to fix this without going under the knife? (Note: This keeps the original concerns intact while sounding natural and conversational. It avoids robotic phrasing, removes excess punctuation, and maintains a worried but hopeful tone typical of someone seeking medical advice online.)
