Why do my eyes get pain and swelling while wearing contact lenses in ectopia lentis?

Since you are wearing contact lenses, you must strictly adhere to good hygienic practices as any breach can lead to corneal infection and dry eyes. Are you using daily wear, fortnightly, or monthly disposable contact lens? You can change to a new pair of lenses. If your symptoms persist even after not wearing them for one week, you need to consult a nearby ophthalmologist and undergo a slit lamp examination of the cornea.
