A member asked:
Can i wear contact lenses when my corneal ulcer was totally healed?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes: You should be able to as long as they are new, the correct fit and the contacts are not causing the ulcers. It is possible that the ulcer left the surface rough, and the contacts may not fit or be recommended depending on the condition of the cornea after the ulcer healed.

Yes: As long as the surface of the cornea (epithelium ) is healed, and you have finished your treatment, contact wear is fine.
