What Causes Watery Eyes And Burning Sensation While Wearing Contact Lenses?

i have started wearing contacts around christmas. This is the first time in my life i have ever had them. I take good care of them but some times my eyes burn when im wearing them. They dont turn red they just water and it hurts.it happens some times when i sleep in them too. I was given permission by my eye doctor to wear them when i sleep. I would really like to know why they do that. Thank you

I would strongly suggest NOT to wear them in sleep. I suggest you not wearing contacts for note than 8 hours a stretch whatever the company might advertise.Your contacts affects how your cornea breathes. If you are having pain discontinue contacts and visit your doc. Kindly go to a good contact lens fitting clinic get a good fit contacts and here i come again ...do not wear them in sleep.
