It would be important to review what kind of lenses are you wearing, and if they show any signs of wear and tear. If that is so instilling drops without changing the lenses might not be of help.
Next Steps
please get your lenses checked
Health Tips
FML T eyedrops needs to be tapered weekly and then stopped, else can have side effects.

It may be due to two reasons 1 your contact lens is not cleaned properly. 2 long use lens like yearly : half yearly lens may have scratches.
So you need to clean lens properly or change your contact lens set or shift to monthly disposable or daily disposable .. medications are temporary
