A case report of 21 years male college student was suffering around 3 years by recurrent Stye, which was treated several times by ocular medications temporarily. By investigation with objective and subjective refraction method the patient was corrected by minor sphero-cylindrical lens, which stopped the recurrent Stye permanently.
