Wear Contacts, Have Astigmatism, Have Completely Crusted Discharge In Eyes. Blurred Vision. Possible Cause ?

Hi, I'm twenty one years old and I have been wearing contact lenses for about three months now, I have an astigmatism. I've been having discharge for the last couple of weeks, when I wake up my eyes are almost completely crusted over, I just assumed it was from allergies, however the last couple of days I've been having pain in my eyes and some blurred vision from time to time, yesterday I noticed that the sclera is a grey color and there are spots that look more blue. What could be causing this? I googled and all I came up with was a rare bone disorder(which I don't have) and aging(I'm twenty one)...

Ophthalmologist 's  Response
Hello,
Discharge in the eyes is caused commonly by infection of conjunctiva called as conjunctivitis.
The treatment is by antibiotic eye drops and you should avoid contact lenses till the infection subsides.

Thank you.
