    It just depends on the medical condition you're treating. Normally you cannot do this as the preservatives, chemicals in the medication can interfere with the lens material and make your vision blurry. In some conditions, it is necessary to wear the contacts and you have to do the antibiotic drops over the contact. It's best to ask the medical professional who prescribed the medication. READ MORE

  • How long does it take for the redness to go away after LASIK?

    Redness can come from subconjunctival hemorrhages that happen very frequently after surgery due to the suction device used to keep the eye in place where the laser is used or it can come from dryness that is also very common after surgery. Depending on what the reason is for the redness if it is a subconjunctival hemorrhage it may take up to 2-3 weeks for it to completely go away. If its from dryness, it can last that way for months and needs to be treated. The important thing is to follow up with your surgeon and after care team post LASIK so they can determine what is the cause of your redness and if you need additional care they would be the best to let you know what you need to do.
