Hello
It seems from the history that you are having symptoms of dryness and itching and since you are wearing contact lenses this indicates allergy caused by contact lenses.
The treatment is by use of artificial tears eye drops and antihistamines eye drops.
Till the symptoms are relieved you should avoid use of contact lenses.
Thank you
