Cause For The Pain And Discomfort In The Eye After Wearing Contact Lens?

my eye hurts, and the area right above my eye. I ve been sleeping in my contacts for years, but my last pair i had in for a few weeks put my glasses on for a couple days & tried contacts today. its just my right eye and i can t focus straight on at anything more than a few minutes before the pain is too much and i have to look away. but if i look right and down the pain goes away.
