Re: HOW LONG AFTER STITCHES ARE OUT CAN U TRY CONTACTS?
Hi, George, good question. It would depend on the type of graft. I had Left Eye DALK, and my sutures were removed much earlier than most, but, I wasn't allowed to start wearing a lens for nearly six months after surgery. I've never been prescribed hybrid lenses before. Although I am researching them for my next visit. Sorry I can't much more than that.

I think that's unusually long, Knight, but it obviously varies according to what's going on with the graft. It takes a few weeks for the graft and the vision to settle after the stitches come out, but a month or two will probably be OK for most people. But do check with your own consultant.
