Get new contact lenses. Consult your doctor.

Just to clarify it is not pink eye. Sometimes what happens is the contacts dry the eyes out. I would suggest getting some eye drops that are natural tears eyedrops. Not visine or anything like that. You can't use that with contacts. Just get some natural tear eyedrops and put them in every once in a while. it will keep your contacts moist and more comfortable and in return your eyes will not get so red. Also, don't leave them in for more than 10 hours a day. That will help too.

I sometimes have this problem. In my case, it's because the contacts dry out my eyes and make them red and irritated. I use eyedrops to lubricate them and reduce the irritation but I find I have to take them out after a few hours.

I would talk to the doc, your eyes are irritated and it's not normal for that when you wear contacts. Only when you first start wearing them.. Best of luck.

THe same thing happend to me, it could be the solution you are using so you should try and ask you optometrist to give you a sample of something for sensitive eyes. If it's not the solution it could be you contacts. You could also try this site it should help you :)

make sure u wash your hands before u start putting your contacts in because if you have dirty hands the dirt will go in the eye and make it red.
contact an eye doctor

eye drops might help but you might want to change the cleaning fluid you are using. There have been bad batches released in the past and you might have gotten one of the bad bottles.

Don't wear them for more than 10 hours a day and don't expose them to a lot of wind...wear sunglasses

lack of oxygen at times you have to take them out and chill your eyes out a bit.
