Question 8

i have a stye in my left eye. will i be able to wear my contact lenses and wear makeup? is there a eye drop i can buy to quickly get rid of this?

Accepted Answer

Yes, probably: The best initial treatment for a stye is warm compresses applied several times a day. Contacts are OK, make sure to wash your hands thoroughly before/after. Avoid eye make-up, as you can contaminate it, making infection more likely when you use the make-up again. If you experience pain, vision changes, sensitivity to light, a sandy/gritty sensation or discharge from your eye, seek immediate care

Question 9

r otc eyedrops for eyelid stye/cyst helpful,what r home remedies? what is the difference between a stye & cyst; spread 2 other eye/contactlens/makeup?

Accepted Answer

Many questions here: Externally applied medication does not affect styes.  Generous application of heated cloths is the best remedy. A stye is an infected lid gland.  If the body's battle to get rid of the stye is only partially effect, it may surround the stye with a cyst wall termed a chalazion. Styes are not infectious and not related to contact lens wear.
