Hello
It seems from the history that you are having red and watery eyes and you are wearing contact lenses.
These symptoms indicate infection or inflammation of the eye. Wearing contact lenses should be avoided till the symptoms persist and treatment in the form of antibiotic eye drops is required to control infection.
Hence I advice you to consult eye doctor for examination and prescription.
Thank you
