Maybe: Redness around the cornea overlying the white of the eye is a non-specific finding.  It could be a sign of bacterial or viral conjunctivitis but it could be a lot of other issues.  You should see an eye doctor if it worsens or do not resolve.  You could try artificial tears in the meantime.

Accepted Answer

There : There are many possible causes for the pain and discomfort in your eyes. It is certainly advisable to not wear your contact lenses until your have an answer and all your symptoms have resolved completely.

My advice is to seek care from an ophthalmologist in your area. If you have already seen a general ophthalmologist, the next step would be to find a cornea specialist. The american academy of ophthalmology's website has a "find an eye md" feature that can help you: http://www.Aao.Org/find_eyemd.Cfm.
