Ophthalmologist 's  Response
Hello
It seems from the history that you are having pink eye with gray dot over the cornea and you are wearing contact lenses.
This indicates corneal infiltration and this requires treatment by the use of antibiotics eye drops.
Since this can progress to become corneal ulcer this requires treatment under supervision of eye doctor.
Hence I advice you to consult your ophthalmologist for examination and treatment accordingly.

Thank you
