It started as a dull throb behind my eyes. I’d been wearing contact lenses for a few hours, scrolling through work emails, and by the time I hit mid-afternoon, that throb evolved into a full-blown migraine. Sound familiar? You’re not alone. Many contact lens users don’t realize their lenses might be silently contributing to those…
So, let me get real for a second—there was this time when I kept feeling this annoying burning sensation every time I peed.

It hit me during a weekend scroll through social media—everyone was somewhere, doing something incredible, while I sat there with this gnawing tension in my chest.
