A member asked:
One contact hurts. feels like there's trash in it. removed it and eye felt better. put it back in and it burned horribly.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Contact: Take it out and don't put it back in. If it is disposable throw it away. If it is not keep it out and see your eye doctor, it may have a tear in it. Never put a contact in a red eye. Always replace a disposable contact that is causing discomfort or clean a non disposable one.
