Brief Answer:
Use systane eye drops
Detailed Answer:
Hi
There could be two reasons:
Computer vision issues
Contact lens reaction. I hope you are cleaning the lenses with the lotion provided with them thoroughly. Hope you are removing the lens before sleep.
I suggest you not to panic. Instead use SYSTANE eye drop every 2 hours in both the eyes as long as you work infront of computer with your contact on. Reduce the brightness of the screen. Take frequent breaks every 30 minutes.
If you see irritation, redness or watering of eyes please see a local eye doctor.
