Is it okay to wear contacts when a stye is ending?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Try to avoid: In general, it's best to try to avoid wearing contact while there is any active infectious or inflammatory condition of the eye or eyelids. In addition, medications used to treat these conditions are often not compatible with contact lenses.
