When can I start putting my contacts in again after upper and lower blepharoplasty eyelid surgery?
Answer: Contact use after eye surgery Many of my patients ask that question. I tell my patients that they may begin using their contact lenses approximately 2 weeks after eyelid surgery. Naturally, it depends on how the patient puts in their lens. Care should be taken when inserting the lenses so as not to separate the incision. Each doctor has their own recommendation so you should ask your own physician. Good luck

CONTACT NOW Answer: Wearing contact lenses after Blepharoplasty. I recommend my patients wait one week to wear their contact lenses after the upper and 2 weeks after the lower blepharoplasty surgery. Swelling and dryness should be increased by that time so you can comfortably wear your contact lenses. However, your surgeon is going to give you the best answer as he follows your progress.

Answer: Contacts after eyelid surgery I allow most patients to put contacts in 1 week after surgery. At that point the swelling is usually decreased enough to allow the contact lenses to fit properly. Their are some other factors that are made in determining when contact are ok to put in and that is mainly based upon what was done during the surgery. Discuss this with your surgeon for their recommendation.

Answer: Contact lenses after blepharoplasty I advise my patients to wait 2-3 weeks before trying to wear contact lenses. If there are any problems with insertion, then the lenses should be removed. Care should be taken in holding the eyelid open and you should be aware that the tearing of the eye may be different and require moisture drops in sone cases.
