Detailed Answer:
Hello
Welcome to Health care magic

I am Dr. DADAPEER K, an Ophthalmologist and I will be answering your question.

I reviewed your history.
It seems from the history that you are having irritation and watery eyes following use of contact lenses.

You need to use artificial tears eye drops like Refresh tears for symptomatic relief.
However if you have symptoms like pain, redness, blurred vision....then we need to rule out contact lens related infection which requires treatment by the use of antibiotic eye drops.
Hence I advice you to consult your eye doctor if you have any of the above mentioned symptoms.

Hope I have answered your question and the information is helpful to you.
Do write back to me for further questions.

Thank you
