My eye is hurting from irritating contacts. what should i do?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Take them out: Contacts should be comfortable and if irritating there is a problem. Remove them and check with your ophthalmologist for infection, fit, concurrent eye problems, etc. Always remove contacts when the eyes get red or irritated to avoid more serious problems.
