What Causes Pain In The Eyes After Wearing Contact Lenses?
My daughter has been wearing contacts for a month now and just two days ago she informed me that her eye was hurting when she touched it or blinked. But she has had this pain for a week. Our eye dr was not available on friday. I have her not wear the contacts anymore. Should I be worried?

Hello,
Wearing contact lens leaves your daughter vulnerable to eye infections unless until she practices perfect hygiene while handling and wearing it. Sleeping with contact lens or washing face with contact lens is a must no. It is better to visit a GP or an ophthalmologist as soon as possible.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
