A Practical Guide for Post-LASIK Contact Lens Users
"Can I wear colored contacts after LASIK?"
It’s a question many people ask after getting laser eye surgery. You’ve finally achieved clear vision — but what if you still want to change your eye color for style or special occasions?
The good news is: Yes, you can wear colored contacts after LASIK. But there are some important things to consider for your eye health and safety.
👁️ When Can You Wear Colored Contacts After LASIK?
Most eye doctors recommend waiting at least 1 to 3 months after LASIK before wearing any contact lenses — including colored contacts.
Your eyes need time to heal and stabilize after surgery. Rushing into wearing lenses too soon can cause:
- Dryness and discomfort
- Increased risk of infection
- Irritation or damage to the cornea
Always consult your ophthalmologist before wearing lenses again.

Tips for Wearing Colored Contacts After LASIK
Once your doctor gives you the green light, here’s how to wear colored contacts safely:
-
Choose Soft, High-Quality Lenses
Look for lenses made from Polymacon (Poly(2-HEMA)) — a soft, breathable material gentle enough for sensitive eyes.
-
Practice Proper Lens Care
Clean your lenses daily, use fresh solution, and never sleep in them unless approved by your doctor. -
Avoid Wearing for Too Long
Limit wear time to 6-8 hours a day, especially in the first few months after LASIK.
