There are many reasons why the lens feels burning. To see the reason of the burning issue of your contact lenses, check the following cases and find out the cause.
Foreign substance
If the lens is covered with foreign substances such as dust or pollen, the user may feel burning issue. Or the soap, shampoo, hand cream and cosmetics that have not been washed out of your hands can also cause burning issue. Because most problems occur for this reason, it is very simple, but it is very important to wash your hands and rinse the lens case well.

Proteins attached on the lens surface
If you wear a lens even one time, the protein in your eyes will be attached on the lens you wear. This protein cannot be completely removed even if the lens is properly cleaned and disinfected. As the amount of attached protein increases over time, the lens's oxygen permeability decreases and can cause irritation to the eye and burning sensation. Since the degree of protein being attached varies from person to person, the amount of protein remaining on the lens is different even if used at the same time.
The best way to remove the protein from the lens is to use a lens cleaner containing hydrogen peroxide. However, if possible, we recommend not using the solution containing hydrogen peroxide. Or, we recommend to use Largo solution after clean the lens with solution containing hydrogen peroxide. The reason can be found in the link below.

Dry eyes
A person whose eyes are drier than others gets hurt easily. If you get a scratch on your eyes, such as your fingernails, you can feel burning when you wear contact lenses. For beginners who don't wear lenses well, there are quite a few cases where they stick their lenses on their fingers for a long time and stab their eyes in the process of trying to wear them. If this is the case, it is recommended not to wear contact lenses for at least a week and, if possible, to consult a doctor. It is also recommended that you put eye drops in at least once an hour if you wear them at a later.

Lens allergy
Some people may have allergic to certain lens materials. Lens allergic reactions are accompanied by symptoms such as red eyes, itchiness and watery eyes. If this is the first time you've worn a lens from a blister, and you see side effects such as swollen eyes, blurred vision, or sore eyes, you should stop wearing it immediately and go to see a doctor.
