Eye irritation after inserting contact lens. stop or keep wearing?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Clean or overused?: You should probably rest your eyes from wearing the lenses for a week and try them again. You may have a scratch there. Make sure you are cleaning them and using a protein remover wash? Also don't over use them if they are disposable. You may have to change to a different style or brand.
