Can i wear contacts a day after a corneal abrasion?

Maybe: If it had been a very tiny abrasion and it had healed in 1 day with no residual dryness or other issues, then the eye might be ready to restart contact lens wear.

Corneal abrasion: Depends. If your eye md has cleared you to resume wearing , then yes. Often it takes several days before the eye is fully recovered from a corneal abrasion. Plus, the fact that you will be putting the contact lens (foreign body) back on the surface of the eye, you want to make sure it is safe to do so.

Not a good idea: You should not restart contact lens use after acorneal abrasion until thd abrasion is important healed and thd eye feels back to normal. I usually recommend 5-7 days with no contacts.
