How long after I had a swollen eye lid before I can put in my contacts and eye make up?

I had a swollen eye lid on Tuesday morning, probably an infection or stye. But it went down as the day went on and by Thursday it was completely gone I think. Well it's Friday now and it's completely gone and I still haven't worn my contacts or put on any make up. So when is it safe to do so? I'm going some where special tonight and I really want to wear them. Is it okay?How long after I had a swollen eye lid before I can put in my contacts and eye make up?
well if it was an infection, its better to leave it be for a bit longer.


you can try putting on your contact, and if it seems to bother you in anyway or irriate your eye then take them out.


you wont know if its ok to wear them untill you try.





if you want to wear make up, try doing something really light and try avoiding too much make up that can possibly go into the eye and make the eye more irritated.How long after I had a swollen eye lid before I can put in my contacts and eye make up?
As long as your eyes aren't pink (pink eye, needs antibiotic) and the swelling is completely down, I would think its ok.





I would put a new pair of contacts in and though them away after tonight. Just in-case you still have a slight infection.





Bring your glasses also, just in-case your eyes start to bather you and have fun at your special event!
I would put it in for a few mins to see how your eye will feel. You may have scratched your eye when you put the contact in the other day. If it doesn't feel comfortable, don't wear it or your eye could get a lot worse. Take care.
