Air bubble in contact lens?!

Air bubble in contact lens?

so i just put my contact lens on my left eye n there was this air bubble in it that hurt like hell so i took it out real fast, it made my eye twitch and sting. i cleaned it alot to make sure nothing was on it and then put it in my eye and there was an air bubble again but it didnt hurt as bad so i kept blinking and it smoothed out on its own.
whats the cause of this and is it bad for your eye?

i think there might be a rip in my contact lens?
if so, would it make that air bubble and irritation/stinging sensation/

This happens to me quite often, but it's never painful for me. You sure it's the air that's hurting you?

In any case, when you put on your lense, you're placing a soft, concave object against a moist surface. It's only natural that a little air space develops in between the two. It's like how a suction cup adheres to glass or tile.

A few blinks usually smooths it out, like you've discovered.

I don't think this is bad for your eye, but if you continue to experience discomfort, see your eye doctor about getting a better fitting lense.
