If infection you mean corneal ulcer from contact lenses Then wait till off antibiotics  and wait a week to let the cornea heal prior to trying contact. If you mean conjunctivitis wait till eyes not red and no discharge then wait a few more days to try contacts.

Asking as you dont sleep in them . They are relatively safe. It is very unsafe to keep them in for a month without breaks because the cornea will not get enough oxygen and you get get bad infections.

The contacts will decrease ability for you to get rid of conjunctivis. It prevents oxygen from get to the eyes and makes it more possible for you to get deep serious corneal infections. You should let the conjunctivitis run its course and then go back into contacts. If you see your eyecare provider they will tell you when its safe to resume the contacts  Sent from the all new AOL app for iOS
