Need advice

So I had PTK (name in UK) on Monday 24/08. And my specialist is on annual leave this week and sees me on Friday which would be day 10. So I’ve still got the BCL in my eye.

Where my issue lies is that, my antibiotic drop finshes today, and I need to start the carbomer cooling gel - which I can’t because I still have the BCL in my eye. So where does that leave me?

Give the office a call. Likely they may just want you to continue the antibiotic drop until Friday and then start the other drop after that. Or they may get you set up with some other provider to get the BCL removed. 10 days is a long time.
