A member asked:
I have conjunctivitis from eye makeup so can i wear my contacts?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Hold off: Conjunctivitis, an infection of the lining of the eye, will heal best if the eye does not have a contact lens in place. Hold off on wearing your lens until the redness is almost gone. You probably should discard your makeup if that is the source.
