A member asked:

Help please! could contact lenses affect a stye?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Contacts and styes: If a stye is present in your eyelid, it may make wearing your contact lens uncomfortable in that eye. The contact will not typically make it worse, but don't wear the lens if it doesn't feel good to have it in.
