Hello
It seems from the history that you are having irritation of the eyes associated with redness following use of contact lenses.
This is because of allergy to contact lenses and the treatment is by use of anti-allergic eye drops and stopping the use of contact lenses till the symptoms are relieved.
Lasik is a safer and better alternative treatment option for refractive errors if you want to have freedom from use of spectacles and contact lenses.
Since the refractive error is only 3.75 and 4 you can undergo lasik surgery. The cost of lasik surgery in India is Rs.35,000- Rs.45,000.

Thank you
