Hi. i have a stye developing on my left eyelid but i wear contacts daily. is it ok to continue to wear them if i treat the stye with warm compress?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not a problem: The warm compresses, applied frequently are likely to get rid of the stye and will not interfere with the contact lens wear.

I have a stye underneath my left eyelid . What is the quickest way to get rid of it other Than warm compress?
I ve had the stye under my left lower eyelid for over a month. Neither Tobradex ointment for 10 days nor warm compress helped. Now my eyelid is red inside. Another doctor tells me to take Doxycycline for a week twice a day. If no help then surgery?
Cold or warm compress for stye in eyelid? It is swollen and painful and red on the skin. Guessing its because I did not cleanse my make up thoroughly?
I've tried to use a warm cloth daily, but the stye under my eyelid will not go away. Any other suggestions?
Warm compress and take doxycycline but my eyelid only gets thicker (no stye/chalazion). Doctor doesnt want to express glands either. What do I do?
