Can I wear cosmetic contact lens after Lasik eye surgery?!


Question: Can I wear cosmetic contact lens after Lasik eye surgery?
Answers:

I don't think you can wear it immediately after operation, it is better to consult your doctor, because it is not suppose to wear contact lens after Lasik eye surgery.

Yes, you can wear color lenses after Lasik sugery, but you must wait until your cornea is healed. If the corneal flap is not healed the simple act of removing a contact lens can disturb that very expensive flap. I would wait until your eye doctor states you can wear a lens.

Even after you wait for the cornea to heal the contact lens might not fit your eye. Your cornea is now flatter if you were myopic ( cant see things far away) or steeper if you were hyperopic (trouble distance and near). Depending on how high of a prescription you had, that prescription is directly related to the change in your cornea. The lens you wore in the past might not fit you properly anymore.

With all that said, if you wait for the corneal to heal and have your eye doctor fit a new lens on you, yes you can wear contacts lenses.



Yes, but consult your doctor if the LASIK was recent before doing so. Vision can continue to change after LASIK, and many people end up wearing contact lenses again after a few years anyway.

You can wear it at least 3 months after the surgery. For sure, you should ask the instruction from your surgeons before wearing them.



Not recommended wearing contact lens after surgery, as it reduce the oxygen supply to your eye.



It is not suggested.
