Hello
I reviewed your history.
The symptoms of redness and irritation of the eye while on contact lenses indicate eye infection.
You need to stop use of contact lenses till the symptoms resolve. This requires treatment by the use of antibiotic eye drops.
Do consult your doctor for examination and treatment accordingly.
Thank you
