Before I go see a doctor..

OOT:

My eye has been bothering me for the past few days, mostly off and on but late at night. Tonight was particularily bad.

I wear contacts, and late at night (while still awake, contacts come out before I goto sleep) my right eye has been hurting with the contact in at night. My left eye is fine, my vision is the same and my contact prescription is the same in both eyes. The contacts are new enough that they shouldn't be the problem.

The right eye feels like it has an eyelash or something in it (it doesn't). There is pretty much just a consistent (but light) irritation in the eye. It is also producing a lot of what I call "eye boogers," the substance that forms in the inner corners of your eye. By a lot I mean more than I'm used to and much more than the left eye.

Any ideas? Eye is a little bit relieved now, I just took my contacts out. It doesn't feel perfect though, and it doesn't seem like the contact is the problem, though it might be aggravating it.

Not in my hometown right now but will figure out a way to get to an eye specialist asap, but if anyone has any ideas of what this could be, I'd appreciate it.

Note - tried eyedrops, they aren't helping. They actually hurt a tiny bit when they go in.

edit - contacts only in while I'm awake
