I had lasix 3 months ago and I can see perfect it is awesome. I had colored contacts for 9 years, I hate the colors of my natural eyes. How long do I need to wait before I can wear them again? I just want to wear them sometimes, especially when I go out.

Three months after Lasik is probably going to be enough that you could wear cosmetic colored contact lenses, however you need to verify this with your eye surgeon and seek a prescription for the colored lenses. There are many different materials for contact lenses and your doctor will know what is best for you.

Remember that even if the lenses do not correct refractive error, they have exactly the same risks as contacts needed to see well.
