Hello, I am 34 year male from Hyd. I use contact lens from past 10 years or so. Suddenly yesterday my left eye started becoming red. From yesterday its in same state. I used eye drop but as of now no visible difference. I feel very little piercing kind of sensation there. What it could be and how many days I can wait before consulting doctor.
