I woke up this morning and my eyes are bright red and a bit swollen. Plus they ache a little bit. I wear contacts and never take them out (except when it's time to change them.) I know I should, and I will starts, but do you have any suggestions on how I can get them back to normal so I don't look like a freak? ASAP!!!!

It is too late now and you will have to look like a freak until the eye irritation runs it's course. You can take a cool wet cotton cloth and apply it gently to the closed eyes to relieve some of the discomfort. Of Course there is no guarantee that you wont still look like a freak even after the redness goes away.

Sounds like you have allergies. Are you sleeping on a feather pillow? If so you maybe allergic to it or the contacts. I was always told not to sleep with them in.Get a appointment with a allergy doc at once & get some skin tests done. My eyes do that if I come into contact with something Im allergic to. I use visine allergy drops & they work perfectly. Only the one that says allergy drops on the bottle work for me. You might want to see a eye doctor to. Good Luck !

it sounds like you have an infection try putting a few drops of contact solution in them first and see if the redness and swelling goes down on its own, if not call a doc asap because you might not be able to wear contacts anymore due to eye damage. this happend to me once turned out i developed an allergy to my contact solution that might be all it is goodluck.

YOU SOUND LIKE YOU HAVE PICKED YOURSELF UP A NASTY EYE INFECTION. TAKE OUT THE CONTACTS AND GO TO THE DOCTOR FOR EYE DROPS, EVERYONE KNOWS YOU HAVE TO TAKE THE CONTACTS OUT ONCE IN A WHILE, THEY ARE NOT NATURAL FOR YOUR EYES AND YOUR EYES NEED TO GET AIR. CONTACTS TRAP BACTERIA UNDER THEM AND YOU GET AN INFECTION IF YOU DO NT KEEP THEM CLEAN. GO TO THE DOCTOR NOW!! YOUR EYES ARE IMPORTANT SOME INFECTIONS CAN BLIND YOU IF NOT TREATED!!!!!!!

You may have pink eye. You may have another infection of the eye simply from contacts being dirty or fingers being dirty when changing them. YOU NEED TO SEE THE DOCTOR. Don't take your chances unless you want to possibly lose your eyesight.

Eye Gene (eye drops) should help.
