Contact lenses after tube shunt surgery

Hello all,

I had a tube shunt surgery in one of my eyes four months ago and decided to try to put on my soft contact lenses for the first time post-op. The contact lens seems not to sit well on my operated eye and be dispaced a bit, which causes some extra ghosting to my vision. Did anyone have a similar experience? How did you sort it out?

Thanks in advance for any reply.

Hey,

I talked briefly with the surgeon and they told me to find a contact lens specialist. I haven't done this yet, so I don't have a real update to give you at the moment!
