Does Change In The Power Of Contact Lens Lead To Eye Pain And Dark Circles?

Hi,I have cylindrical power recently. I am using specs at home with proper power. But, at home, i am using contact lense which doesnt have cylindrical power. I am facing slight eye pain. Is this due to my lens? I also have light dark cirlces. This also might be due to my cylindrical power?

Ophthalmologist 's  Response
after proper refraction the correct contact lens is to be used. if there is necessity of cylindrical power then contact lens has to be given the power or residual corection by specs is to be used. Difference of power can cause strain and eye pain but black circle is not related to it. it is only hyper pigmentation and sunscreen lotion is to be applied.
