I just got contacts and my eyes are burning...?

Question

they burn, and i just got my contacts 4 or 5 hours ago. should i use some eyedrops or something? Is this normal?

Answer 1

call your eye doctor, sometimes it takes a while to find the right contacts for you. you may be sensitive to them or allergic, you should probably take them out until you know for sure. trust me if you leave them that way too long it really burns. you can try the eye drops and see if they work if the burning keeps up then take them out please! and call your eye doctor immediately

Answer 2

i would take them out and rinse them off in solution. ur eyes might just be getting used to contacts. after about two weeks that uve got ur contacts u should go for a follow up to make sure they fit ur eye and they are comfy for you. i would say it is very normal, but if contacts for a while go for a follow up real soon

Answer 3

you should put your glasses back on

Answer 4

take them out for a little while and if you do decide to use drops make sure they were made for contacts.

Answer 5

well did you put something on them like that liquid stuff you put them in every night. cause if you rubbed it in that it will cause burning. or if you put them in water that will cause burning too.

Answer 6

you probably just have very sensitive eyes. take them out clean them and put them back in or keep them in the case for a little bit.  Im very sensitive to my contacts too and you just get used to it. you might have protein build up on your contacts. if your allergic you get build up much easier than if your not. you can still wear contacts if your allergic to them (like me) you just have to take breaks every once in a while. i used to wear them eveyr other day for 7 hours when i first got them..now i can sleep in them (which i dont advise)  so just clean them well. wear them sparingly for right now..if they still  bothre you, you should probably go with a different brand that you wear for less time(2 weeks instead of a month)

Answer 7

yeah well they will feel weird, they could be inside out too.

Answer 8

Take them out. Put them in solution, and clean them thoroughly. Try putting them in again tomorrow and if they still burn go talk to your eye doctor.

Answer 9

you are probably just not used to them, i usually use drops if that happens, or try moving it around in your eye. if nothing works just take them out and try again later

Answer 10

That is not normal at all! Take them out this instant and call your eye doctor!

Answer 11

idk maybe u should put some more in cause they're not working

Answer 12

well my theological theory of the reason your eyes are as you say 'burning'...is that the left pupil may react to the plastifine in the contact lenses (this is a chemically combined mixture of plastic and a chemical called finlio)...therfore causing it to as you say 'burn' your pupils...it is nt your eye it is your toes...yes i said it your toes...they sting the eyes therfore causing it to run down as fast as it can down the body and to the tip of your toes and back! yup...this does happen...but this may not be your case... drink 8 glasses of water (to put out the fire in your eye)....clean your toes ( with soap...)...hug a tree and then eat some cat stew...

and if all that fails...take out your contacts, and consult your docter...

hope i helped =)

Answer 15

They probably were stored in a disinfecting solution.  Take them out and rinse them thoroughly with saline.  Be sure to wash your hands well first.
