The contacts will decrease ability for you to get rid of conjunctivis. It prevents oxygen from get to the eyes and makes it more possible for you to get deep serious corneal infections. You should let the conjunctivitis run its course and then go back into contacts. If you see your eyecare provider they will tell you when its safe to resume the contacts Sent from the all new AOL app for iOS
You should resume wearing your contact lenses when the infection is completely resolved. After a careful examination, your doctor will indicate when the right time is for you.
