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 and the photo attached with the question.
The photo shows sectoral redness of right eye. Since it is limited to one sector of the eye and eye is not wet and symptoms of pain or burning sensation are absent, this is unlikely to be infective in nature.
Since you are wearing contact lenses this can be because of allergic reaction to the contact lenses.
Please give me more details like
Do you have itching, watering, discharge or any other symptoms?
Do you have any blurring of vision?
I would like to advice you to stop wearing of contact lenses till the redness is cleared. I would like to treat conditions like this by the use of decongestant and artificial eye drops like Nefacool eye drops.
Please provide me more information as I have asked so that I can advice you more accurately.
Hope this answers your question.
Thank you

Hello
Thank you for the follow up question.
I reviewed your history.
This does not look like infection, hence no need to be worried. You can use Nefacool eye drops as I had suggested 3-4 one drop times a day. The condition should resolve by 3-5 days. Till the redness resolves completely you need to avoid wearing contact lenses.
