No risk, no worry: Repeat question. It's OK. The antibiotic remains in your symptom for several days after treatment, prevening reinfection. As discussed last time, I doubt you have chlamydia of the eye.

Not ok: Chlamydia is difficult to eradicate from the eye, and frequently needs prolonged treatment. Do not use or reuse contacts for at least 10 days
