eye pain and redness

I wear contacts.  A day ago i felt there was something in it so i took my contact out thinking i might need to let it vreathe.  The next morning i woke up w redness and sensitivity to light including tearing up as well.  Not sure what this could be but i have been flushing my eye all day today and although the redness goes away, it comes back when my eye is irritated by light (tv, cell phone, light in room etc).

Someone help.  This is really annoying.  Its not itching either.

You need to see an ophthalmologist.  You probably have a corneal problem or inflammation.
