Question

Answer
Dear Talia,



if the contacts are not daily disposables, there may be a tear in that contact lens...so please get the same checked by a contact lens specialist or optoemrtist.



Alternatively, burning in the eyes is a symptom of an allergy or impending infection, again one needs to show this to an optometrist.



Try not to self treat yourself.
