Hello
It seems from the history that you are having irritation and pain in the eyes. Since you are wearing contact lenses, this may be related to contact lens related infection. The first thing to be done is to stop use of contact lenses till the symptoms are relieved.
The treatment of the condition is by use of antibiotic eye drops. Since this can lead to corneal ulcer if not treated properly, hence I advice you to consult your doctor for examination and treatment accordingly.

Thank you
