A member asked:
If i have allergic pink eye, am i still okay to wear my contacts?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Contact lenses: Although wearing contacts while experiencing allergic conjunctivitis will not contaminate the lenses or be dangerous, you might find them more uncomfortable than usual. This sensation should pass once your allergies are under control.
