“How do you deal with contact lens pain?”

I honestly do not have an answer for this question. I would ask the ophthalmologist or the optician, or use soft ones, or just use regular lenses. I particularly, would not be able to tolerate contact lenses myself because I feel my eyes are very sensitive and the presence of a foreign object would make me go crazy from the discomfort.

That would be a great question for your optometrist.
