How long after a eye infection ends can i wear eye makeup and contacts?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
When improved: When the redness is almost gone, the eye is comfortable and there is no discharge, you can then reapply makeup and start wearing contacts. The time is variable for this to happen but the time to add contacts and makeup is easily determined when the signs and symptoms improve.
