A member asked:
Can a person with scleritis and uveitis wear contacts?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Best avoided: While an eye is inflammed, and under treatment, it is more susceptible to secondary infection and contact lens problems fall in this category. So use of contacts in these circumstances should be avoided if at all possible.
