I dont know that its a triomy thing - but sties are often a staph type
infection. Have they checked him (and you and Mike) for being staph
carriers??

Does he have super long eye lashes?? Sometimes recurrent sties can be from
eyelashes growing inwards.

The only thing I can think of is l-lysine. l-Lysine is an amino acid that
you simply buy at the health food store. My step daughter used to get virii
that would turn to bacterial/viral infections in her eye (herpes virus).
They would get very nasty, leave corneal scars and threatened her vision.
After our third trip in 12 months to the opthamologist I asked him what we
could do and he recommended the l-Lysine. Its an anti-viral remedy and I can
vouch that it works - she never got another virus of any description,
including her chronic cold sores whilst she was taking it...............

Curiosity factor though - are you doing the lutein with Morgan? I wonder if
that may help????
I can ask our resident lurking eye person if you like as well??
