I've been experiencing some pain in my left eye's cornea whenever I put in my contact lens. I make sure to keep them clean and they're not expired, but the pain is still there. What could be causing this?

Question

I've been dealing with this weird issue where my left eye starts itching in the evening, like after 6 pm, and it goes on until I fall asleep. It's been happening for the past five days, but it's fine during the day. I'm not sure what's causing it or if I should be worried. Could it be something serious or just a minor irritation that will go away on its own? Any advice or thoughts on what might be going on?

Question

I'm feeling a bit anxious as a family member is set to have cataract surgery soon. The doctor mentioned we need to choose a lens, but we're not sure which one would be best. They've given us two options: Acrysof IQ Vivity from Alcon or Tecnis Eyhance by Johnson & Johnson Vision. Could you help us figure out which might be the better choice? It's really important to us to get this right.

Question

Hey, I've been dealing with a red eye for the past couple of days and it's really painful, especially when I open it. There's a lot of white color showing. I attached some pictures too. Are there any specific drops you would recommend, or any suggestions on what I could do to help with the pain?
