My dear,
Thanks for sending your query to us.
This is allergic conjunctivitis. There is always a possibility of effects of contact lenns usage.
Antibiotic eye drops 4 to 5 tomes a day and one anti allergic tablet dsily is needed.Pirely bacterial conjunctivitis will have cppious discharge. So there seems a added allergy factor.
Wash your eyes with water.
Do not use contact lenses till this problem is over.
Any further query in this regard please do get back to me.
