MiM asked:
I had the Lasik surgery a few months ago and yeah, my vision is fine and I don’t need to wear them for vision anymore but I want to wear color contacts once in a while. How long after the procedure can I wear them? I’ve heard from my doctor that if I wore contacts before the procedure I should be able to wear them again afterwards. My next appointment with him is in another 6 months so I’d like to know when I can wear them again from maybe people who’ve had experience with this.

Well, being that your cornea might be a different shape after lasik, I would call the doctor and tell him you want to wear non-corrective, (prescription…even without a correction these colored lenses are prescriptive!) lenses for color. They might need to re fit you for sizes and see what ones are best for you and their availability. Do not go by what people in here tell you, their answer might not be what is right for you!
