My contacts burn when I put them in?!
Question: My contacts burn when I put them in?
Answers:
Even if you have washed your hands carefully you can get residue on them which isn't washed off. if you are right handed its often your right hand which gets more contaminated. Worst I've ever had with this was when I chopped chilles and although I had washed my hands 3 times and used a scrubbing brush , next time i put my contacts in they burnt like hell. Took me 3 days to get burn free wearing.
The solution that the manufacturer ships them in can vary in ingredients. While all are "safe" some may bother you more than others, even though it is the same batch of lenses. Buy some saline or a multipurpose contact lens solution that you know does not bother you and rinse the lenses before inserting them. This should solve the problem.

It's possible you are allergic to the solution the manufacturer keeps the lenses in. Try soaking the lenses in a contact solution you are not allergic to for a couple hours, then try again.
