Stye/Chalazia and contacts

by navinraju, Jul 16, 2008 05:43AM
I had a stye/chalazia under my upper eyelid and it has been almost a week and a half.  I used the prescribed antibiotic ointment for the full 7 days (as prescribed by my general physician).  He said it would go away after a week.  The pain is completely gone but there is still a small bump (like a pimple) underneath my eyelid.  I'm not sure if any puss ever came out.  Can I wear contacts yet or should I see an opthamologist first?

See an ophthalmologist. Use TheraTears SteriLid eye lid cleaner, over the counter. Search "blepharitis" on this page search feature.
