What Causes Stinging Pain In Right Eye When Colored Contacts Are Worn?

Hello, I wear Rx colored contacts, and when i removed them yesterday my right eye had a stinging pain. Drops helped after stinging worse, but it feels like something else is going on with it. My eyes are brown, but the bottom-right quarter of my eye has what looks like a grey film over it. Is it a protein buildup? My contacts are clean, nothing on them. It s in my eye itself, and only on my right eye. I also work graveyard, which I know can cause discoloration of the iris (I ve seen it happen), but it doesn t look like that s what s going on here. If it is protein buildup on my eye, what can I do about it? Thank you!
