A member asked:
Is it possible for you to wear contact lenses with a stye?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: As long as the eye itself is not affected by a stye, then it's ok to wear a contact lens. However, the stye may cause the contact to be uncomfortable. In that case, it's better to wear your backup glasses until the eyelid infection is gone.
