Irritation in eyes
I am a frequent contact lens user and wear them on a daily basis. Due to the weather, I have been facing dry eyes and irritation with wearing contact lenses. I have stopped using contact lenses for the last 1 week and am using spectacles. But still there is dryness/irritation. I feel like scratching my eyes at night and wake up to very dry eyes in the morning. They are bloodshot red.
I have been using Renu lubricating drops 3-4 times a day. Do you recommend any other eye drops?

This can be something harmless like dry eyes or can be something as severe as early corneal infection. It's best to get checked. Due to the changing season and increasing number of influenza cases, this could very well be viral conjunctivitis.
Next Steps
Visit an ophthalmologist need you and seek professional opinion.
