How come my eyes hurt after I take out my contacts?

Question

My eyes feel fine when I have my contacts in but the second i take them out they start watering really bad and they feel scratchy. Is it weird that they feel better with my contacts in?

Answer 1

No, when you take your contacts out your eyes are probably dry and sometimes when you take your contacts out if you have worn them for a long time your eyes are overworked and tired, I have the same thing with my contacts.  

Answer 2

Your eyes are dry and have gotten irritated, make sure you put wetting drops in during the day especially if you are outdoors.

Your eyes water to try and keep your eyes from drying out.
