Most patients are able to continue wearing contact lens after LASIK.
Due to changes in cornea shape following LASIK surgery, the optometrist can adjust the shape of the contact lens to permit a good fit between the contact lens and cornea.
Do remember though that the same precautions to prevent contact lens related complications like infections and allergies still apply.
Maintain good hygiene practice and moderate the duration of use. It is generally a misconception that patients undergoing LASIK have to sacrifice the option of wearing contact lens altogether.
