Why does my eye hurt after wearing contact lens?
Patient's Query
Hi doctor,
I put in my contact lenses in the morning and everything is fine. But, a few hours later, my left contact moves and slides. When I take it out, my eye hurts for a while. Why?
Hi,
Welcome back to icliniq.com.
Sometimes, the cornea may be steeper or flatter than usual. The base curve of the lens may not match your cornea's base curve. You can get it measured from any optometrist. Otherwise, try using the preservative free lubricating drop to take care of any associated dryness that may cause the lens to pop out. I suggest Refresh Ezee (Sodium Carboxymethyl cellulose). Consult your local optometrist or ophthalmologist and discuss the above.
Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
