Why do my contacts irritate my eyes so much?

Question

I have a pair of clear contacts and ever since I first bought them they have done nothing but irritate my eyes. I find that they are bigger than my pupil and fill up more of my eye than I would expect. I think part of that may be why I have so much trouble with them. I had colored contacts once and they fit so well I didn't even feel them. I almost went to bed with them on so it's not that I am not use to wearing contacts. I feel it may have to do with the particular bran I purchased. The cheap 15 dollar kind from wal-mart. Big mistake. My eyes hurt so bad now any advice?

Answer 1

stop wearing them. see your doctor. it probably is your brand and its not getting enough oxygen to your eye. or you wore them too long and theyre old and about to infect your eye.

Answer 2

If they irritate you the first thing to do is stop wearing them.

Never continue wearing lenses that irritate your eyes , that could cause all kinds of problems.

Next , did you go back to the optician or optometrist who fitted them ?

There is obviously something wrong, so you need to see someone who can diagnose and fix the problem....while actually seeing you.
