I've tried the salt water solution too, and Idon't know if it worked or not, because it did get better after a day or two... DH didn't help, as he insisted on making pirate jokes the entire time I had it as my eye was quite swollen.
Eewwwoooo I use to get them all the time as a kid.
Mum always did the ring trick but that didn't always work so when it didn't work I used this stuff called golden eye ointment and that use to clear them up beautifully.
Oh wow, I had no idea about the gold remedy! I just got rid of one and it was so itchy and painful but I always though you just need to let it run it's course so I put up with it for days Lucky I found this thread!
PS. I think it was my Mum's mascara that did it - never share eye makeup!
yes the gold ring works wonders
and for a sticky eye cold black tea gets rid of it in now time
just make a black tea no sugar and let it cool and then wipe it on your eye with cotton wool
