Many possible causes: Take them out and clean them thoroughly. Be sure to rub them with the cleaning solution. For the best cleaning, use a peroxide-based system like clear care. If this does not work, then do not wear contacts for a day and then put in a new pair. If this does not resolve the problem, then see you eye doctor.

Always be aware of risk of eye infection with any use of any contact lens if not properly cared for or if used for an extended period of time. Irritation from cl can be due to a poor fit, intolerance to material, or giant papillary conjunctivitis. See your eyemd.
