Can I wear cosmetic contact lenses after Lasik?

Question

Robert T. Lin, MD · Answer

In most cases, it's
safe and effective to wear contact lenses after LASIK. We recommend that you
wait 2-3 months after LASIK before being fitted with contact lenses. However,
it is important to note that fitting contact lenses on eyes that have undergone
LASIK surgery can be more challenging due to the altered curvature of the front
surface of the eye after LASIK. For this reason, it's a good idea to seek an
eye doctor who specializes in fitting contact lenses for hard-to-fit eyes if
you want to wear contacts after LASIK.

yes but you should wait for 2 weeks for lasik and 3 weeks for lasek as lasek is safer but takes longer to recover
