Why does it feel like there is something in my eye, but there isn't?

Question

Everytime I take my contacts out, it feels like there is something in my right eye. I rub it, but nothing comes out. I've looked everywhere, but there is nothing in my eye. I try using drops, but they do nothing. I just went to the clinic and was basically told I'm "crazy" because they can't find anything wrong with my eye. It's really bugging me. I can't sleep because it bothers me so much. I'm afraid to put my contacts back in because I fear they might be doing the damage. Although the doctor claims my eyes are fine. Any thoughts or suggestions?

Answer 1

I would guess a scratch on your cornea or irritation from the contacts.

Answer 2

Most likely a scratch. Are you seeing an eye doctor or a general practitioner? Go to an eye doctor.
