Why Am I Having Throbbing Pain In Right Eye?

Three days ago I woke up with pain in my right eye. It is a bit red in the lower corner and the pain in almost like a throbbing pain. I thought it was my contacts, maybe a scratch or something. It has been three days since I have worn them but I woke up this morning with the pain being greater then it has before.

Hello
It seems from the history that you are having throbbing pain in right eye and you also wear contact lenses. Hence this appears like corneal abrasion because of injury while wearing contact lenses.
The treatment of the condition is by antibiotic eye drops and you should avoid using the contact lenses till the corneal abrasion is healed.
Hence I advice you to consult your doctor for examination and prescription of antibiotic eye drops.

Thank you
