every thing you have done is wrong. changing lens and solution is wrong. Please do not follow this in future. There is chance of cross infection.thisredness can be infection , dry eye , allergy. All should use their respective lens and solution. for you start applying refresh eye tear drop. If does not improve then apply cromal eye drop. In case of no improvement antibiotic eye drop like ofloxacin.3% can be applied 6hourly. If problem continues then consult eye doctor for examination and advise.
