Does Slight Burning Sensation In My Eye After Wearing My Contacts Need Medical Attention?
Last night i stored my contacts in the same container in plain tap water. 24 hours later i have removed them from my eyes and i know feel a slight burning sensation in jsut my right eye and i do not detect any other symtoms of what i fear may be Acanthamoeba. Is this all in my head or do i need medical attention. Please help.

yes it needs checkup. since it causes dry eye syndrome, you may get it checked, and definitely remove it at bed time. after removing can apply artificial tear eye drop. with this the burning sensation should go.
