I fell asleep in my contacts, and I wore them all the next day. I took them out that night and woke up to my left eye being sore and red. It has hurt and been red and watery all day .. now if you shine a light on my eye, there's a tiny little white spot on the color part of my eye

Hello
It seems from the history that you are wearing contact lenses and you are having redness and watering of the eyes.
This indicates contact lens related allergy or contact lens related infection. Hence you should stop wearing contact lenses till the symptoms are relieved.
Eye examination is required to find out the underlying cause and treatment accordingly.
Hence I advice you to consult your doctor for examination and treatment accordingly.

Thank you
I find this answer helpful
