A member asked:
I had corneal abrasions on both eyes back in 2010 and it took about a month to heal. i haven't worn contacts since. can i use contacts again?

Depends: Were the abrasions do to contact lens abuse? If not, you can certainly try again. If contact lens technique or wear schedule were in error. Then you can try after a little re-education to prevent what got you into trouble in 2010.

See ophthalmology: See your eye doctor for an exam and determination of whether you can wear lenses again. Good luck!
