What Causes Burning Sensation With Red Color Eyes While Wearing Lens?
I woke up this morning and my left eye was crusted shut. When I got it open, it realized that it was burning and very red. It waters and I have a runny nose. Also, my eye color appears to be lighter then normal. I should probably also mention that I wear contacts on a daily basis.
Do you know what's wrong?

Hello
It seems from the history that you are having symptoms of redness of eyes, burning of eyes, associated with runny nose...
All these symptoms indicate infection of the eyes in the form of conjunctivitis. The treatment is by the use of antibiotic eye drops.
The use of contact lenses should be stopped till the symptoms subside.
Thank you
