  Yes, it is. Former cases have proven that when you have styes on your eyes, you are likely to develop conjunctivitis if they are not treated with sufficient attention. Both styles and conjunctivitis can be caused by bacteria. Don't rub your eyes and pay attention to the sanitary conditions on your eyes when you have styes, otherwise you have a great chance of developing other eye problems.
