Should I avoid wearing eye makeup to a contact lens exam?
Not wearing eye makeup is matter of personal taste. Removing makeup is not required. If you already wear contact lenses then there will be no practice required. Sometimes makeup gets smudged when either you or the person who fits you inserts or removes the contact lens, and rinsing or washing your hands and the contact lenses may be required. There is, however, no health issue and nobody should force you to remove makeup.
Oh yes please don’t wear any. I made the mistake of wearing some when I had to practice getting them in. WOW, yeah I got them in but I look like I got beat up after having my eyeliner and mascara run from using the contact solution and the couple tries it to me to get them in. I was happy I got them in, just could of saved myself from the running of the eye makeup and I had to keep cleaning them at the fitting to get the make up off that got in them.
