Eye pain from contacts is the worst, I've been there! First, take them out immediately. Rinse your eyes with sterile saline solution, not just water. Sometimes a cool compress helps. But if the pain persists or you have redness, please see an eye doctor. Don't try random drops.

Oh, I remember those days when I used contacts! Sometimes it was just a tiny hair or dust particle. Always remove them gently and rinse your eye well with clean solution. If it's very painful, don't delay seeing an eye doctor; your vision is very precious. Better to be safe.

I get so scared when my eyes hurt from contacts. Does anyone else feel like their eye is really scratched, even if it's just dry? I usually take them out right away and blink a lot. But how long should the pain last before I need to see a doctor? It makes me so anxious.

Yaar, contact lens pain is no joke! First thing, take 'em out, obviously. Then, actually use some good rewetting drops. Sometimes it's just dryness or a tiny speck of dust. But if it's still hurting after a while, or your eye looks red, better see an eye specialist, haan.
