Hello
It seems from the history that you are having pain in the eyes following wearing contact lenses.
The pain is most probably related to corneal injury or damage caused by the contact lenses. Hence I advice you to stop wearing contact lenses till the pain is subsided and start using antibiotic eye drops to prevent secondary infection.
Hence I advice you to consult your doctor for examination and treatment accordingly.
Thank you
