Hello, last year I scratched my Cornea in the locker room at hockey. I'm still only 14 but when I turn 19 or 20 I want to get Lasik. Will that mess up the surgery? And i know its bad but sometimes i go like 5 days without taking my contacts out. lol. It doesn't really hurt so I don't care. Will that mess it up?

  1. Call you optician Asap...Better to be safe than sorry!


  2. A corneal scratch usually heals itself within a few days, if you left the contacts out. That shouldn't be a problem.

    But what could likely cause you problems down the road is doing stupid things like leaving your contacts in for 4 or 5 days.

    You say you know it's bad...so why do you do it ?
