It depends on the location and severity of the infection. It is best to check with your eye doctor for specific guidance. Glenn C. Campbell, MD Naples, FL
My practice is to wait until the course of antibiotic (eyedrops or oral) is complete. Then examine the eyes and start CL if all is ok.
You should resume wearing your contact lenses when the infection is completely resolved. After a careful examination, your doctor will indicate when the right time is for you.
