Hello
Possibility of infection/injury due to contact lens can not be ruled out in your case. For the time being, you should stop using contact lenses and wear only glasses. You should give hot fomentation to your eyes, ciplox eye drops with some anti-inflammatory eye drops can be used locally.
In case pain is severe, you can take some analgesic and anti-inflammatory tablets orally which should help you. You should be fine in about 3 days.
