YES: If you have pain, blurry vision, redness or discharge as a contact lens wearer you should remove the contacts immediately and see your eye doctor. This could potentially be a sign of a problem that could threaten your vision.

Lack of correction: Contacts correct the vision and when removed you are at your basic power which is blur until the contacts or glasses are re-worn.
