A member asked:
I had ozurdex implant(right eye) yesterday and i am wondering if i can wear contact lens on my left eye.

Ozurdex: There is a small risk of infection due to the Ozurdex implant-- it is best to wait 1-2 wks before resuming contact lenses-- check with your eye doctor before putting them in again.

Yes: You can wear your contact in the left eye. Ask your eye doctor about when you can wear it in the other one.
