Do i have an eye infection, or have my dry eyes just got worse?

Question

After taking my contact lenses out without having properly washed my hands, the day afterwards, my eyes were very painful and i had a bit of yellow stuff in the corner of one eye.. I haven't had any more discharge since, and my eyes aren't red.. They just feel very sore and itchy. I have mild-moderately dry eyes already, and have worn my contact lenses (which make it far worse) a lot lately, so could it be that?

Answer 1

I don't think it is an infection at this point. Sorry you suffer from dry eyes.
