Suggest Medication For Pain In Eyeball While Blinking

My right eyeball hurts so bad. when I blink, it feels like its bruised. When its open it feels like someone is stabbing me in the eye. Ita extremely red and I can barely keep it open. I wear contacts, and the irritation started yesterday while I had them in. They just felt dry all of a sudden, and I figured my eyes needed to breath. When I got home, I took the contacts out and figured I would be fine in the morning. However the pain is even worse today, and when I took my right contact out it hurt extremely bad! What could it be?

Hello
It seems from the history that you are having redness of eyes and pain in tgeceye while blinking.
Since you are wearing contact lenses this can be contact lens related problem like infection of the cornea.
The treatment is by use of antibiotic eye drops.
You should avoid the use if contact lenses till the condition is cured.
Hence I advice you to consult your doctor for conformation of diagnosis and treatment accordingly.

Thank you
