Uveitis & contacts: Better not to wear contact lenses when you have an eye infection. It can be uncomfortable and possibly painful. The contact lens can become a reservoir for infection. Check with your eye specialist, and follow their advice do your eyes can heal faster and prevent complications.

Yes: Be sure you follow the instructions carefully for lens length of wear and cleaning. I assume you are under treatment for the uveitis. And hopefully you are responding. If things worsen, especially when wearing the lens, remove it and call your ophthalmologist.
