“Can I still wear contacts with a popped blood vessel?”

It probably won't hurt anything but might take a longer time to heal. Best to let the eye rest for about a week.

It's generally recommended to avoid wearing contact lenses if you have a red or broken blood vessel in your eye. If you are experiencing any irritation, sensitivity to light, discharge and/or blurred vision in the affected eye you should consult with your eye doctor.

If what you have is a sub-conjunctival hemorrhage, you should be able to wear your contact lenses. This "broken blood vessel" is under the conjunctiva (sub), and is similar to a "black and blue mark" where a blood vessel broke under the skin and you see it as black and blue instead of seeing the blood in the eye directly because there is no skin on the conjunctiva. But, please note that sometimes these sub-conjunctival hemorrhages can indicate that there may be a problem within the eye. If you notice any changes in your vision, notice any pain, discharge, or anything that is unusual to you or to your vision, make an appointment to see an eye doctor. Most often, these hemorrhages resolve on their own within 7-10 days and no drops will help resorb or eliminate the blood because they are under the conjunctiva. People with high blood pressure, diabetes, having other medical issues, or those taking aspirin or blood thinning medications may be more at risk for this problem. Good luck and best wishes.

No, you should at least be out of contact for 5 DAYS

Get it checked by your eye specialist first
