Why Is The Outer Corner Of My Eye Sore And Painful?

My left eye is sore (especially in the outer corner) and red, it hurts to blink and it was very hard to sleep last night. I wear contact lenses and thought my eyes were just tired but this morning it is so much worse!Any ideas??A sty??A scratch??Something in there??
Am I best to go to the doctors or an optometrist?
