Can Contacts Be Worn While on Accutane?
What is your experience with Accutane and contacts? I am considering Accutane but am a very active person. Am I going to be able to wear contacts?

As Tolerated
Accutane does definitely dry out the eyes. However, most patients can tolerate contact lenses if they use a wetting agent such as Visine. Some dermatologists also feel that oral Vitamin E might help with dryness problems, although a recent paper refuted this proposition.
I would play it by ear, if your contacts become irritated you will have to don your specs.
