"My eye does not hurt."

Translation: 目は痛くないです。

[Kygun]

Shouldn't the answer be が and not は？ For example, 私は、目がいたいです。

[Switch_Z]

Both works

[AndrewVanL2]

Many times は is used in negative sentences to emphasize contrast. The way the person is answering the question here shows that someome probably asked him. He uses は to emphasize that his eyes do not hurt.

[denimbluesky]

目が痛くないだ
Is this not also correct? Or must だ be dropped altogether after い adjectives for informal speech?

Me wa itakunai desu.

Is "痛くないです” equivalent to "痛いません”? I've wondered about this since being introduced to sentence structures like this.
