He has had atleast four in the last year..The one he has now came on fast and furious..The doc in the past has given us eye drops and an ointment for them..They sometimes work, sometimes not. We do the hot compresses on his eyes several times a day..I am now trying to figure something else out..Any ideas?? Thanks

Make sure he washes his face every day. The pours in his eye lids are getting clogged up. It's kind of like a pimple on your eye lid.
