four days ago I had an eye exam and the next morning I woke up with a problem in one eye, it had a build up of crust, was bloodshot, and was slightly blurry for a few minutes when I first woke up as if there was mucus over my eye. every morning when I wake up the same symptoms occur, but my eye stays bloodshot all day, and it feels like there is something on my eye. I wear contacts every day but I am always careful to be sanitary when putting them in and taking them out. I do not believe it is pinkeye.

ps; there is no itchiness or sensation of dryness. image

    sorry for the poor image quality! I also just remembered that on one occasion the affected eye's pupil was noticeably larger than my other eye's. This is not happened since this one occasion though. Thank you!

    I think it may be an infection or a tiny abrasion or a tiny ulcer, on your cornea, in your eye. You may need Chloramphenicol drops or ointment. If you are in UK you can only get these on prescription.Until it clears dont wear contact lenses. You could try getting some artificial tears drops and using them several times a day to see if that helps, but dont ignore it.
