Contact lenses will not help. They increase the surface area available for years to evaporate a Nd can worsen dry eye. Take breaks of 30 seconds every 30 minutes while on computer and use lubricant eye drops as required. Maskatieyeclinic Opposite Charni Road station east, Mumbai

Please do not use contact lenses strictly when you have red eye. It maybe due to some infection which shall get worse on keeping contact lenses on.
Next Steps
Get yourself checked once at nearest eye clinic. Weather these days is known to cause increased rates of infection.
Health Tips
You may need a short course of antibiotic eyedrops, esp if redness is associated with discharge.
