A member asked:

My left eye hurts when i put on contacts and it lasts the whole time i wear them. why is that?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Defective left cl: Check your contact lenses. The left one may have a scratch or deposit which causes your left eye to hurt when it is on. It may have to be replaced.
