I can see a white spot on my cornea and feel a bump there. its also causing me pain on a daily basis, i also wear contacts. what could this spot be?

Have an eye check: Contact lens wearers with eye pain and physical signs of potential problems require an evaluation today. Call your eye md & tell him/her your problem. He/she will see you today. Your cornea may an infection necessitating treatment. You could also have over wear problems requiring stopping the contacts & wearing your glasses.
