A mechanical injury occurs when you damage the contact lens yourself. This causes contact lens discomfort and may damage the cornea, and this may require immediate medical attention.
You may have experienced a painful cornea ulcer due to a bacterial infection. Corneal ulcer in people who wear contact lens usually occurs from wearing contact lenses while sleeping or swimming and from unhygienic practices. If you do not treat corneal ulcers, it could lead to loss of sight.
This complication mostly occurs due to an insufficient supply of oxygen to the cornea. You may develop this condition due to excessive wearing of the contact lenses. However, people using the new design of contact lenses such as silicone hydrogels rarely experience this problem. The condition may lead to corneal neovascularization, and if it develops to the acute stage, it may cause a person to stop wearing their lenses.
You may experience this problem when you wear your contact lenses too much. It causes eye pain,redness and dry eyes. To stop the discomfort, you would have to stop wearing the contacts for a while.

The symptoms include redness of one eye, watery eyes, acute eye pain, and sensitivity to light. It may result in a corneal ulcer, which may lead to permanent loss of vision due to scarring of the tissues. Microbial keratitis may be due to contamination of the contact lens from water-borne acanthamoeba while swimming or taking a shower. It is usually challenging to treat and may cause blindness.
