Why do my contacts burn when I cry?

Question

I cried a couple weeks ago with my contacts in, and I took 'em out that day. The next day, my eyes felt really REALLY bad! They were burning. When I put my contacts in, they felt worse. My eyes STILL hurt! I even put a new pair of contacts in my eyes! My eyes still feel like c**p.

Answer 1

well use eye drop often.

Answer 2

The tears your eyes make when you're crying because your sad or upset about something do not have the same composition as the tears your eyes make for lubrication and keeping your eyes moist, that is why your eyes get red when you've been crying. Maybe this has something to do with why your contacts are bothering you.

Answer 3

I get that all the time too...  I D K the scientific explanation for it, but all I can think of is that excess tears dry your eyes out.
