What Causes Yellow Discharge From Eyes?

I had contacts in my eyes a few months ago from 4:30 am in the morning till3:00 am due to missing airline flights back in August. As a result eyes are itchy, watery and slight yellow discharge. I cannot wear contacts right now. Been using over the counter eye drops! Any suggestions

Welcome to HCM portal.
there are three steps to manage your problem.If you use lens cleaning tablets(enzyme tablets) then they should be used.Get hold of anti biotic and lubricant eye drops.Antibiotic drops are to be used after removing the lens as the salts of eye drops can deposit on the lens surface and spoil the lens.Lubricating drops can be used with lenses in place.Use these three steps and you will be fine.
