What Causes Blood Shot Appearance In Left Eye?

Hi, recently noticed that I keep getting a blood shot appearance in my left eye -- whats weird is it only happeneds at night. Tonight after further inspection I noticed there is a tiny lump that looks clear almost mucusy ( located on the edge of the iris) I also wear contacts.

it is not in iris. it is dry eye syndrome due to contact lens use developing corneal erosion. remove your contact lens at bed time. apply artificial tear eye drop 3times daily. better to stop using contact lens for 2 weeks.
