Treatment For Eye Pain Due To Falling Asleep With Contacts On?

Hi I fell asleep last night with my contacts on and woke up this morning and my right eye is hurting so much. I can barely keep them open, especially outside where it's bright. When I close them and try to take a nap they hurt even more and get watery.
What do I do? This happened to me before but not this painful and it usually went away after a few hours.
