Hi
It is possible to get corneal erosion with infection in eye when one uses RGP lenses for a relatively longer period that especially when lens hygiene is not followed properly.
Better to discontinue lense use for 4-5 days and use Tobacin eye drops and lubricating eye drops for that interval period.
You will be comfortable again.
