A member asked:
Can i wear contact lenses with a chalazion under my eyelid?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: In theory, yes. But chalazions may compress on the eye surface, so if the contact lens does not feel right, take it out. Also, if the chalazion becomes infected, you should remove the contact lens.
