What does it mean when you wear contacts your eyes are always bloodshot but they don't hurt?

Question

I've been wearing contacts for a while only giving my eyes a break on weekend mornings, I broke my glasses a while back accidentally and never had time to fix them.

What do you think and suggest?

I look really good in contacts by the way hehe.

Answer 1

i would suggest not wearing them for about 2 hrs. each day then buy some visene contacts eye drops for use at night and morning

Answer 2

Even though your eyes do not hurt, with wearing contact lenses and your eyes being red it means that your eyes are irritated from the contact lenses, irritated from the solution you use to keep your contacts clean, or you can have dry eyes where you do not produce enough tears.

Here are some helpful web sites in reference to your red or bloodshot eyes:

I would suggest you remove your contact lenses each night before going to bed to give your eyes a rest. Also you need to see your eye doctor as soon as possible, as you could have a seriouse eye infection.

Good Luck

It means the contact lenses are irritating your eyes. I can't wear contacts very long, because I have the same problem, but I feel the contacts scraping my eyelids every time I blink. I can't get over that feeling. Weird, huh?
