A member asked:

Can one play sports and excercise with an eye stye?

3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

Yes: A stye is no reason to stop exercising or participating in sports. Try hot compresses several times per day. This is the single best treatment.

Stye: No problems. Do some warm fomentation for the stye. If that does not work then see your GP.
