What Causes Red,watery And Sensitive Eyes?
Hi, I wear contact lenses and I woke up yesterday with white dots on the outline of my iris. It looks like a bacterial growth. There is no discharge, but my eye is extremely red, watery, and sensitive to light. It also hurts every time I blink. What could this be?

Hello
It seems from the history that you are having redness, watering and sensitivity of eyes. Since you have mentioned about the use of contact lenses and presence of white dots on the cornea.
This indicates corneal infiltrations probably related to contact lens related infection.
This is a serious condition as it can progress into a corneal ulcer. Hence I advice you to consult your doctor for examination and treatment at the earliest.
The treatment of the condition is by use of antibiotic eye drops.
Thank you
