Hello,
Welcome to Healthcaremagic,
You are suffering from an Corneal dystrophy disorder from childhood.
For that you are Therapeutic contact lenses to protect the eye from erosion and abrasion.
Red eye, sticky and white discharge is due to infection in eye.
Probably it is due to improper use of contact lenses ie. your lens may be contaminated with microorganisms.
You may have either Conjunctivitis or blepharitis.
You need Antibiotics and eye drops.
Please consult Ophthalmologist for eye examination and further management.
Follow some measures to avoid further infection in future.
1. Do not rub your eyes, even eyes may be itchy.
Rubbing them can make your symptoms worse.
2. Place a cool compress over your eyes.
3. Wash your hands regularly before and after using contact lenses.
4. Do not share towel and handkerchiefs with other people.

Hope this helps.
Take care.
