It depends, see your optician and get them to check, it depends what state your eye has been left in after the surgery. Only your optician can tell you, they can look at your eyes and assess the health of them to see if you are suitable.Why did you have laser surgery if you still want to wear contact lenses? You could have had prescription coloured contact lenses...

This is only a guess. I have had Lasik and they cut a flap on your eye. That flap heals but leaves a scar that is still visible. contacts fit over your eye. I think the scar left from the Lasik surgery and the contact floating on your eye would be very uncomfortable (would move). Lasik requires tears to be put in your eye and the wetting solution used for contacts is not the same thing. I think you would have a lot of problems - The scar left from Lasik will need air to heal.

Once you are considered healed, you can. I have seen some of out patients that had lasik come in for Colored lenses.
