I was told i shouldn't wear color contacts due to my dry eye. but now i have had lipiflow and my symptoms are gone. can i wear color contacts now?

Possibly: Discuss this with the ophthalmologist who administered the lipiflow. Eyes vary in their fluid balance and sensitivity and you might be able to wear them There is a minimal essential difference between colored contacts and contacts worn for vision.
