redness etc

redness etc

I wear contact lenses and a lot of the times I don't take them out before I go to bed. One day I woke up, and my eyes were red and irritated. I took the contacts out and examined my eye closely. The nerves in one eye look especially strained since they are noticably red and look thicker. In both eyes there's a browinish lining around my pupil. However my eyes don't hurt nor do I have headaches. What do you think this is? It's been a day and they still look the same. I'm concerned about the browinish lining more than anything. It also looks kinda glossy.

-i do plan to go see the eye doctor soon

Most likely contact lens overwear.  It could also be an infection.
