A member asked:
I have a stye which has burst and is fading away. can i wear the monthly contact lenses i wore before the stye? what will happen if i do?

No problem: The stye, on the lid, is well isolated from the surface of the eye unless actively discharging pus. Yours is fading away and that indicates your body and immune system has got the upper hand. You can wear your contact lenses as long as the eye itself is not getting red or painful.
