Could you possibly have a crack or tear in the lens? Alternatively, you might have lightly scratched your eye. I've had a similar pain to your description (although, when wearing hybrids) and it has been for one of these reasons.

Hi Albert, I'm a similar age to you. Recently, I looked into getting hybrids privately, and the quotes were between £350-800 for the pair, depending on the material type. The RGP contacts were around £250 for pair. If you want something different, I suggest asking your contact lens specialist at you...
