About eye infection and contacts?

Question

i have been sick for about a week with a cold or something.

now i have an eye infection.

i dont think it was caused by the contacts btw

should i keep wearing my contacts eventhough i have an eye infection?

Answer 1

Big No No

Reasons:

1) Your contacts can serve as a carrier for the germs

2) Contacts may make it more conducive for the germs to attack the eye

3) Contacts may hinder the effects of your eye medication

Answer 2

No, do not wear the contacts until you've been cleared by your doctor.

When in doubt, take 'em OUT!

Answer 3

NO!

Anytime you have an eye infection, you do NOT wear your contacts.

But be sure to clean your eye everyday with solution. If it's a throbbing pain and red, it will go away in a couple days as long as you clean it.

If it's pink and producing greenish fluid and is puffy, you probably have pink eye. Get to a doctor and get antibiotics right away.

And when you do put contacts back in, be sure to open a new pair, just to be safe.

If this infection lasts a week or more, get to a doctor ASAP.

Hope I helped.

Answer 4

Not recommended to wear lenses when the user is sick. Wear spect instead
