Hello
Welcome to Health care magic
It seems from the history that you are having redness of the eye after sleeping with the contact lenses. This indicates infection of the eye. This requires treatment by the use of antibiotic eye drops and anti-inflammatory drugs.
Since the infection has followed contact lens use, this requires to be treated under the supervision of ophthalmologist as contact lens related infection can be serious some times.
Thank you
