best to consult a specialist instead of asking us!

It sounds as if you now have an infection. With your third visit to the eye doctor, he or she should take a culture. There may be other issues.
Depending on the type of contacts you have, you might need the optician to check them. Sometimes a tiny scratch or miniscule foreign body can get imbedded in one. Are you using aseptic technique with your contacts? Are your solutions and utensils clean? Recently a company who makes various eye solutions (Bausch & Lomb?) had to recall several types of eye solutions and drops because of contamination.

Do you have a thyroid condition?
I sometimes get this blurry cloudy haze in my vision and when I spoke to my eye doctor about it she told me it's possibly related because hypothyroidism can cause tissues to thicken. Normally it's your fingernails or skin, but it can be your corneas and even your heart tissue.

sounds like fungal keratitis. Your Dr. needs to properly diagnose you and prescribe the right RX for you.
Good luck=

make sure you rinse eyes with saline solution to start and do not wipe with tissues or dirty fingers
go see your doctors again.
