Pain under right eye when blinking?

Question

Every time i blink i get this sharp pain under my right eye or the top part of my cheek. This started to happened three days ago? Is this some kid of eye infection because i just started to wear contacts?

Answer 1

Healthy eyes are continuously covered by fluid — a tear film designed to remain stable between blinks. A stable tear film prevents dry eyes and allows your eyes to maintain clear, comfortable vision.

Decreased production of fluids from your tear glands can destabilize the tear film, allowing it to break down rapidly and create dry spots on the surface of your eyes. An imbalance in the substances that make up the tear film also causes dry eyes.

Dry eyes are a common source of discomfort. Treatment of dry eyes aims to restore a more normal tear film to minimize your dryness, blurred vision and discomfort.

Due to incorrect size of contact lens the production of eye fluid may be disturbed. please therefore consult a qualified ophthalmologist and get correct size contacts which I hope will reduce the pain.-
