I think i have a sty on my lower eyelid near the tear duct. can i still wear my rgp cornea reshaping lenses to sleep? i don't wear them during the day

Not sure it's a good: idea. If the stye is infected, this may affect your lens being contaminated. Best to check with your eye doctor during exam by slit lamp microscopy first. That's the best.
