कॉन्टैक्ट लेंस पहनते समय मेरी आंख में दर्द और पानी क्यों आ रहा है?

Client_c677f8

क्या आप मुझे पक्का बता सकते हैं कि मेरी आँख में क्या समस्या है? मेरी आँख में दर्द हो रहा है, बहुत पानी आ रहा है और बहुत असहज महसूस हो रहा है। मैं लगातार मॉइस्चराइजिंग ड्रॉप्स डाल रहा हूँ। मेरे पास ये रेनू ड्रॉप्स हैं जो लुब्रिकेटिंग के लिए हैं और मैं लेंस यूजर भी हूँ और लेंस पहनना भी बहुत दर्दनाक और चुभने वाला हो गया है और मुझे रोशनी से ज्यादा संवेदनशीलता नहीं है। लेकिन अगर मैं बहुत ज्यादा रोशनी में हूँ, जैसे सीधी धूप में, तो यह बढ़ जाता है। ड्रॉप्स डालना भी दर्द देता है। कल की तरह, मैंने अपने लेंस उतार दिए और फिर कुछ घंटों बाद कुछ मॉइस्चराइजिंग ड्रॉप्स डालने के बाद, रात तक मैं काफी सामान्य महसूस कर रहा था और जब मैं उठा तो सब कुछ सामान्य था, कोई दर्द नहीं था, कुछ भी नहीं था और जब भी मैं वही लेंस पहनता हूँ कुछ घंटों बाद दर्द फिर से बढ़ जाता है, लेकिन ऐसा तब नहीं होता जब मैं एक अलग जोड़ी लेंस पहनता हूँ। अब मेरी आँख लगातार दर्द कर रही है।

I’m a periodontist and academician with a strong clinical and teaching background. Over the last 4 years and 8 months, I’ve been actively involved in dental education, guiding students at multiple levels including dental hygienist, BDS, and MDS programs. Currently, I serve as a Reader at MMCDSR in Ambala, Haryana—a role that allows me to merge my academic passion with hands-on experience. Clinically, I’ve been practicing dentistry for the past 12 years. From routine procedures like scaling and root planing to more advanced cases involving grafts, biopsies, and implant surgeries. Honestly, I still find joy in doing a simple RCT when it’s needed. It’s not just about the procedure but making sure the patient feels comfortable and safe. Academically, I have 26 research publications to my credit. I’m on the editorial boards of the Archives of Dental Research and Journal of Dental Research and Oral Health, and I’ve spent a lot of time reviewing manuscripts—from case reports to meta-analyses and even book reviews. I was honored to receive the “Best Editor” award by Innovative Publications, and Athena Publications recognized me as an “excellent reviewer,” which honestly came as a bit of a surprise! In 2025, I had the opportunity to present a guest lecture in Italy on traumatic oral lesions. Sharing my work and learning from peers globally has been incredibly fulfilling. Outside academics and clinics, I’ve also worked in the pharmaceutical sector as a Drug Safety Associate for about 3 years, focusing on pharmacovigilance. That role really sharpened my attention to detail and deepened my understanding of drug interactions and adverse effects. My goal is to keep learning, and give every patient and student my absolute best.

I am a qualified medical doctor with MBBS and DNB Diploma in Family Medicine from NBEMS, and my work has always been centered on treating patients in a complete, not just symptom based way. During my DNB training I rotated through almost every core department—Internal medicine, Pediatrics, Obstetrics & Gynecology, Surgery, Orthopedics, ENT, Dermatology, Psychiatry, Emergency medicine. That mix gave me the skill to manage acute illness, long term disease and preventive care together, something I find very important in family practice. In psychiatry I worked closely with patients who struggled with depression, anxiety, stress related problems, insomnia or substance use. I learned not just about medication but also about simple psychotherapy tools, psycho education and how to talk openly without judgement. I still use that exp in family medicine, specially when chronic disease patients also face mental health issues. My time in General surgery included assisting in minor and major procedures, managing wounds, abscess, sutures and emergencies. While I am not a surgeon, this gave me confidence to recognize surgical cases early, provide first line care and refer fast when needed, which makes a big difference in online or OPD settings. Now I work as a consultant in General medicine and Family practice, with focus on both in-person and online consultation. I treat conditions like fever, infections, gastrointestinal complaints, respiratory illness, and also manage diabetes, hypertension, thyroid disorders, and lifestyle related chronic diseases. I see women for PCOS, contraception counseling, menstrual health, and children for common pediatric issues. I also dedicate time to preventive health, lifestyle counseling and diet-sleep-exercise advice, since these small changes affect long term wellness more than we often realize. My key skills include holistic diagnosis, evidence based treatment, chronic disease management, mental health support, preventive medicine and telemedicine communiation. At the center of all this is one thing—patients should feel heard, safe, and guided with care that is both professional and personal.

Hello, thank you for sharing your concern. Your symptoms strongly suggest that the problem is most likely related to the contact lenses themselves rather than a deeper eye disease.
The fact that:
- pain becomes worse with one particular pair of lenses,
- another pair feels better,
- the eye improved after removing the lenses,
- and lens insertion is painful,
raises concern for:
- contact lens irritation,
- a scratched cornea (corneal abrasion),
- dry eye with lens intolerance,
- or early contact lens–related keratitis/inflammation.
Because you also have:
- tearing,
- burning,
- pain with drops,
- irritation,
- and worsening discomfort,
you should take this seriously, especially since improper/occasional lens cleaning increases infection risk.
A contact lens–related corneal infection can sometimes begin without severe light sensitivity initially.
What you should do immediately:
- STOP wearing that contact lens pair completely
- Ideally avoid all contact lenses until fully evaluated
- Use preservative-free lubricating eye drops/artificial tears
- Do not sleep in lenses
- Avoid rubbing the eye
- Use glasses instead for now
You should arrange an eye examination (ophthalmologist/eye doctor) soon because they may need to:
- examine the cornea with slit lamp/fluorescein stain,
- check for corneal scratches,
- ulcers,
- or infection.
Seek urgent/emergency eye care IMMEDIATELY if:
- vision becomes blurry,
- strong light sensitivity develops,
- pus/discharge appears,
- pain rapidly worsens,
- or you notice a white spot on the eye.
Do NOT continue forcing the painful lenses into the eye.
Final Advice:
1. Stop using the problematic contact lenses immediately
2. Use glasses and lubricating drops temporarily
3. Contact lens irritation or corneal injury is likely
4. Eye examination is recommended soon to rule out corneal infection/ulcer
5. Avoid sleeping in lenses and improve lens hygiene
Advice: Since the symptoms repeatedly worsen with a specific lens pair and improve after removal, the lenses themselves or a lens-related corneal irritation/injury are the most likely causes.
Feel free to reach out again.
Regards,
Dr. Nirav Jain

I am a general dentist with 3+ years of working in real-world setups, and lemme say—every single patient teaches me something diff. It’s not just teeth honestly, it’s people… and how they feel walking into the chair. I try really hard to not make it just a “procedure thing.” I explain stuff in plain words—no confusing dental jargon, just straight talk—coz I feel like when ppl *get* what's going on, they feel safer n that makes all the difference. Worked with all ages—like, little kids who need that gentle nudge about brushing, to older folks who come in with long histories and sometimes just need someone to really sit n listen. It’s weirdly rewarding to see someone walk out lighter, not just 'coz their toothache's gone but coz they felt seen during the whole thing. A lot of ppl come in scared or just unsure, and I honestly take that seriously. I keep the vibe calm. Try to read their mood, don’t rush. I always tell myself—every smile’s got a story, even the broken ones. My thing is: comfort first, then precision. I want the outcome to last, not just look good for a week. Not tryna claim perfection or magic solutions—just consistent, clear, hands-on care where patients feel heard. I think dentistry should *fit* the person, not push them into a box. That's kinda been my philosophy from day one. And yeah, maybe sometimes I overexplain or spend a bit too long checking alignment again but hey, if it means someone eats pain-free or finally smiles wide in pics again? Worth it. Every time.

Hello
Your symptoms strongly suggest irritation or inflammation related to the specific contact lenses you are currently using. Since the pain becomes worse with that pair of lenses and improves after removing them, possible causes include a damaged or dirty lens, protein buildup on the lens, poor lens hygiene, dry eye irritation, allergic reaction to the lens or solution, or a contact lens–related corneal abrasion or early infection.
Pain, tearing, burning, and discomfort when putting in drops or lenses are not normal and should not be ignored. Even without major light sensitivity, a scratched cornea or corneal infection can still occur, especially if lenses are overworn or not cleaned properly.
Stop using the current lenses immediately and avoid wearing contact lenses until your eye feels completely normal and has been checked by an eye doctor. Do not reuse the same pair. Use only preservative-free lubricating eye drops if needed and avoid redness-relief drops. If you have glasses, use them temporarily.
You should get examined by an ophthalmologist soon, especially because the pain is now continuing even without the lens. An eye exam with fluorescein stain may be needed to check for corneal scratches, ulcers, or infection. Seek urgent care immediately if you develop worsening pain, increased redness, pus/discharge, blurred vision, marked light sensitivity, or reduced vision.
Take care

I am a 2023 batch passout and working as a general physician right now, based in Hanumangarh, Rajasthan. Still kinda new in the bigger picture maybe, but honestly—every single day in this line teaches you more than textbooks ever could. I’ve had the chance to work under some pretty respected doctors during and after my graduation, not just for the clinical part but also to see how they handle people, real people, in pain, in panic, and sometimes just confused about their own health. General medicine covers a lot, right? Like from the smallest complaints to those random, vague symptoms that no one really understands at first—those are kinda my zone now. I don’t really rush to label things, I try to spend time actually listening. Feels weird to say it but ya, I do take that part seriously. Some patients just need someone to hear the whole story instead of jumping to prescription pads after 30 seconds. Right now, my practice includes everything from managing common infections, blood pressure issues, sugar problems to more layered cases where symptoms overlap and you gotta just... piece things together. It's not glamorous all the time, but it's real. I’ve handled a bunch of seasonal disease waves too, like dengue surges and viral fevers that hit rural belts hard—Hanumangarh doesn’t get much spotlight but there’s plenty happening out here. Also, I do rely on basics—thorough history, solid clinical exam and yeah when needed, investigations. But not over-prescribing things just cz they’re there. One thing I picked up from the senior consultants I worked with—they used to say “don’t chase labs, chase the patient’s story”... stuck with me till now. Anyway, still learning every single day tbh. But I like that. Keeps me grounded and kind of obsessed with trying to get better.

Hello
Thanks for describing your symptoms in detail. Based on what you’ve shared, the most likely cause is contact lens–related irritation or allergy, possibly due to a problem with that specific pair of lenses. Here’s why:
- Pain, tearing, and discomfort that get worse with a particular pair of lenses but not with others strongly suggests the issue is with that pair (could be a scratch, protein buildup, or a reaction to the lens material or solution).
- Improvement after removing the lens and using lubricating drops, then return of symptoms when using the same pair, further supports this.
- No significant light sensitivity and normal feeling after rest make a serious infection less likely, but not impossible.
### What’s Most Likely Happening?
- Lens Damage or Contamination: The lens may be scratched, torn, or contaminated with deposits or bacteria.
- Allergic Reaction: Sometimes, the eye can develop an allergy to the lens material or the cleaning solution.
- Dryness/Irritation: Overuse or improper cleaning can cause irritation.
### What You Should Do
1. Stop Using the Problematic Lenses: Discard that pair immediately.
2. Switch to Glasses or a Different, Clean Pair: Only use lenses that do not cause symptoms.
3. Continue Lubricating Drops: Use preservative-free artificial tears for comfort.
4. Avoid Wearing Lenses Until Eye Feels Completely Normal: Give your eye a break for at least a few days.
### When to See a Doctor
- If pain, redness, or tearing persists even after stopping lens use.
- If you develop vision changes, severe pain, discharge, or light sensitivity.
- If both eyes become involved or symptoms worsen.
Contact lens–related problems can sometimes lead to serious infections (like corneal ulcers), so if symptoms don’t improve quickly after stopping lens use, see an eye doctor (ophthalmologist) as soon as possible.
Thank you

I am currently working as a urologist and kidney transplant surgeon at Graphic Era Medical College & Hospital, Dehradun. It's a role that keeps me on my toes, honestly. I handle a pretty wide range of urology cases—stones, prostate issues, urinary tract obstructions, infections, you name it. Some are straightforward, others way more complex than you expect at first glance. Every patient walks in with a different story and that’s what keeps the work real for me. Kidney transplant surgery, though, that’s a whole different zone. You’re not just working on anatomy—you’re dealing with timelines, matching, medications, family dynamics, emotional pressure... and yeah, very precise coordination. I’m part of a team that manages the entire transplant process—from evaluation to surgery to post-op care. Not gonna lie, it’s intense. But seeing someone who’s been on dialysis for years finally get a new shot at life—there’s nothing really like that feeling. In the OR, I’m detail-focused. Outside of it, I try to stay accessible—patients don’t always need answers right away, sometimes they just need to feel heard. I believe in walking them through what’s going on rather than just giving reports and instructions. Especially in transplant cases, trust matters. And clear, honest conversation helps build that. Urology itself is such a misunderstood field sometimes. People ignore symptoms for years because it feels “awkward” or they think it’s not serious until it becomes unmanageable. I’ve had patients who came in late just because they were embarassed to talk about urine flow or testicular pain. That’s why I also try to make the space judgment-free—like whatever it is, we’ll figure it out. At the end of the day, whether I’m scrubbing in for surgery or doing OPD rounds, I just want to make sure what I do *actually* helps. That the effort’s not wasted. And yeah, some days are frustrating—some procedures don’t go clean, some recoveries take longer than they should—but I keep showing up, cause the work’s worth doing. Always is.

👁️ Your contact lens is likely damaging your cornea
Classic signs: pain, tearing, burning, drops hurt, sunlight bothers — and one specific lens pair causes it, but others don’t.
Now your eye hurts even without lenses → corneal abrasion or early keratitis.
⚠️ What’s likely wrong:
· Damaged or dirty lens (invisible scratch or deposit)
· Poor cleaning (“occasionally”) → bacterial or protein buildup
· Corneal epithelial defect from that lens
🔴 STOP now – do not wear that lens pair ever again.
What to do today:
✅ Remove lenses immediately – keep them off for 48 hours
✅ See an eye doctor for fluorescein stain test (shows corneal damage)
✅ Use preservative-free artificial tears (not Renu drops – may irritate more)
❌ No sleeping, no swimming, no rubbing eye
✅ If pain worsens or vision blurs → go to ER (risk of corneal ulcer)
✅ Good news: Your other lens pair is safe – so problem is that specific lens + poor hygiene, not your eye permanently.
— Dr Nikhil Chauhan
One bad lens can scar your cornea. Stop. Stain. Switch. Stay safe.

Dr. Aarav Deshmukh

I am a general physician with 8 years of practice, mostly in urban clinics and semi-rural setups. I began working right after MBBS in a govt hospital in Kerala, and wow — first few months were chaotic, not gonna lie. Since then, I’ve seen 1000s of patients with all kinds of cases — fevers, uncontrolled diabetes, asthma, infections, you name it. I usually work with working-class patients, and that changed how I treat — people don’t always have time or money for fancy tests, so I focus on smart clinical diagnosis and practical treatment. Over time, I’ve developed an interest in preventive care — like helping young adults with early metabolic issues. I also counsel a lot on diet, sleep, and stress — more than half the problems start there anyway. I did a certification in evidence-based practice last year, and I keep learning stuff online. I’m not perfect (nobody is), but I care. I show up, I listen, I adjust when I’m wrong. Every patient needs something slightly different. That’s what keeps this work alive for me.

Given your symptoms, it sounds like you may be experiencing a condition known as contact lens-associated irritation, or potentially even a mild form of contact lens-related keratitis. The fact that your eye feels normal when you take out your lenses and problematic when you wear a certain pair points to the lenses themselves being the issue. It could be that the lenses are damaged or not fitting properly, or that there’s some residue or allergens on them causing irritation. Here are a few steps you should consider: stop wearing the problematic pair of lenses immediately. Switch to glasses for a few days to allow your eyes to recover. The fact that moisturizing drops make things temporarily better suggests that your eyes might be drying out due to the poor lens fit or material, which can exacerbate irritation and pain. The lenses you’re using may not be the best for your tear film composition. Consider trying a different brand or type of contact lens, ideally those designed for dry eyes. This can be discussed with your eye care professional, who might also suggest switching solution brands if sensitivity or intolerance is involved. Always ensure lenses are properly cleaned and replaced according to schedule to prevent buildup of deposit or bacteria. If symptoms persist even with a new pair of lenses, or if you notice any changes in vision, increased redness, swelling, or light sensitivity, seek prompt evaluation by an optometrist or ophthalmologist. This will help rule out infections or more serious conditions that could impact your vision. Avoid self-medicating with over-the-counter drops continuously if symptoms don’t resolve; they might mask ongoing issues rather than treat them.

I'm Dr. Alan Reji, a general dentist with a deep-rooted passion for helping people achieve lasting oral health while making dental visits feel less intimidating. I graduated from Pushpagiri College of Dental Sciences (batch of 2018), and ever since, I've been committed to offering high-quality care that balances both advanced clinical knowledge and genuine compassion for my patients. Starting Dent To Smile here in Palakkad wasn’t just about opening a clinic—it was really about creating a space where people feel relaxed the moment they walk in. Dental care can feel cold or overly clinical, and I’ve always wanted to change that. So I focused on making it warm, easygoing, and centered completely around you. I mix new-age tech with some good old-fashioned values—really listening, explaining stuff without jargon, and making sure you feel involved, not just treated. From regular cleanings to fillings or even cosmetic work, I try my best to keep things smooth and stress-free. No hidden steps. No last-minute surprises. I have a strong interest in patient education and preventive dentistry. I genuinely believe most dental issues can be caught early—or even avoided—when patients are given the right information at the right time. That’s why I take time to talk, not just treat. Helping people understand why something’s happening is as important to me as treating what’s happening. At my practice, I’ve made it a point to stay current with the latest innovations—digital diagnostics, minimally invasive techniques, and smart scheduling that respects people’s time. I also try to make my services accessible and affordable, because good dental care shouldn’t be out of reach for anyone.

Your symptoms strongly suggest contact lens–related eye irritation or possible Keratitis, especially since the pain worsens with one specific pair of lenses and you only clean lenses occasionally. Stop wearing those lenses immediately, avoid reusing that pair or case, use only preservative-free lubricating drops, and do not sleep in lenses until you are examined. Because contact lens infections can become serious and threaten vision, you should see an ophthalmologist/eye specialist urgently within 24 hours, especially if redness, worsening pain, discharge, blurred vision, or light sensitivity increases.
