When I carefully removed a contact lens Monday night I suddenly felt this intense stabbing pain which has continued, though less intensely and now intermittently (every few minutes). I saw a doctor Tuesday who said my eye looked fine, only minorly inflamed, and prescribed antibiotic drops which have not had any effect yet.
Reflecting on the experience I realized it was a lot like the stabbing pain I've felt preceding the growth of a wart (of which I've had a few including one very recently). So my theory is that a papilloma is growing on my eye or eyelid. However I haven't been able to see it. I may feel the presence of something in my eye or I may just have convinced myself I do.
My question is, does my theory make sense? Since the pain continues, should I return to the doctor or see another one? Ruling out trauma to the eye, which I don't think there was, is there any other painful infectious agent my finger could have transmitted to my eye, other than the wart/papilloma virus?
Thank you.
