    Can I ask what type of eye drops you are using?

      This may be part of the problem. Both of those drops are redness relievers. You should not be using them daily. They can actually irritate the eye and cause redness. I would try a lubricating drop instead, like Systane, Refresh, etc. Id try that , it may take a few days for the redness and inflammation to resolve but I think it will help greatly.
