Answer 1

If you did not get these from a licensed eye care professional, you should not be putting these contacts in your eyes.  Your eyes are reacting to them, because they may be the wrong size fit, or they were not made in a sterile condition.  Several years ago the FDA warned about the use of non corrective contacts and how they are being sold by convenience stores, over the internet or flea markets, etc.  If you continue to wear these you may develop a corneal ulcer, which if left untreated can lead to vision impairment.  The FDA also reports to these other eye risks using decorative contacts: "conjunctivitis (an infection of the eye);corneal edema (swelling); allergic reaction; corneal abrasion from poor lens fit; and reduction in visual acuity, contrast sensitivity, and other visual functions, resulting in interference with driving and other activities."

If you are putting them in and a reaction starts immediately, it probably an allergic reaction.  You may be sensitive to the material the contact is made of.  

If the condition doesn't go away after a couple days,  I would meet with an Opthalmologist or Optometrist to have him/her look at your eye, and find out what is going on.  It is very important to treat any eye reaction because if left untreated, it may become a serious problem.

Answer 2

The lenses don't fit you properly or you aren't receiving enough oxygen to your eye when you wear them.  You need to visit the doctor who prescribed them.....If they weren't prescribed for you, you should stop wearing them immediately.  Contact lenses are a medical device and used incorrectly they can hurt you....

Answer 3

They aren't the right curvature for you. Those are all symptoms of your lenses being too tight.

Stop wearing them before you cause some real problems.
