but usually it will itch or hurt and your eye will water a lot. just take it out and check. you will need new ones if they happen to be ripped though. [ IAmShammay's advice column | Ask IAmShammay A Question ]
sizzlinmandolin answered Monday January 23 2006, 10:33 am: It hurts a lot! One of mine was torn slightly once and it felt like I had an eyelash under it. You can tell that it's torn pretty much just by looking at it, but if you're not sure just pull it apart a little. If it's not torn the chances of ripping it aren't very high. If there's a crease in it you should probably get a new pair anyways. My theory is, if you think there's anything wrong just throw them out. It's not worth getting an infection or anythign like that. I hope that I was able to help and good luck. [ sizzlinmandolin's advice column | Ask sizzlinmandolin A Question ]

To tell if a contact is torn, take it out of your eye and look at it. It should be smooth and gently curved, with no lines, scratches, rough edges, or noticeable tears. [ alisonmarie's advice column | Ask alisonmarie A Question ]
