What kinds of contact lenses are safe to wear after Femto-LASIK surgery?

Doctor's Answer

Absolutely. This is a common question after Femto-Lasik / Smile surgery as many patients choose to make a fashion statement with their colored contact lenses.

Its best to follow the usual contact lens care advice of never sleeping with your contacts, practise good hygiene habits, never wear them when your eye is red, infected or sore, never to wear them past their expiry date, clean them immediately after removal from the eye, and to store them in appropriate containers.

As for the choice of contacts - its best to stick to established brands which are either FDA-approved or bear the CE mark.

Best of luck with your surgery, and potentially use of colored contact lenses!
