Hello
It seems from the history that you are having redness of eyes and you are not able to see in bright light. I think it is redness of the eyes and not redness of retina as you have told as retina is inner layer of the eye and it is not seen with naked eye.
Since you are using contact lenses, contact lens related complications allergic conditions affecting the cornea needs to be ruled out.
Hence I advice you to consult your eye doctor for examination and treatment accordingly.
Thank you
