A member asked:

My left eye hurts when i wear my contacts but i don't like to wear glasses. any suggestions?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

See an eye doctor: See an eye doctor right away to rule out a serious eye infection and to check if the contact lenses are the right fit for you. A spare pair of eyeglasses for emergencies is a good idea.
