Answer 1

You might have an infection, or your eye is irritated. To help this, rinse  your eyes with saline solution before putting in your contacts. You also might be just getting used to them. When I first got my contacts, my eyes were also a little red, but then I got used to them. Now, my eyes don't get red and my contacts are very comfortable. But if this keeps on happening, you might want to go to an eye doctor to get your eye checked for infections.

Answer 2

Your contacts might need cleaning. You don't always feel it. You can get the little protein cleansers at walmart that you soak your contacts in overnight. I don't know if anything's wrong with your eyes, but you should probably see a doctor for that.....

Answer 3

don't worry. I wear contacts and the same thing happens. You see, it is my guess that the suction produced from the contact being placed in your eye may slightly restrict the blood passage to your eye, but that just makes sense to me, i have no clue if it is true. otherwise, contacts can slow oxygen passage to the eye, straining it the way a band-aid makes your skin get damp or itchy. I don't think you should worry about infections. You wont know until it is too late to stop it before it occurs. As with most infections, no matter how minor they seem to you, you should see the doctor or your eye examiner. It is just to make sure that there is nothing serious with the infection. hope this helps,

Don't worry that's totally normal.  If you get an infection just make sure it doesn't spread to the other eye.  Wash your hands when handling either eyes or contact lenses.  If there is an infection it is VERY VERY VERY RARE that it's serious.  Usually it will just disappear in a few days.  Time is usually the only thing that cures infections.

BTW: if it seems like you have pink eye (or you do have pink eye) don't go to the doctor.  Pink eye is a virus that can't be gotten rid of unless you wait.  They only give you pink eye medicine to waste your money.  Time is the only thing that cures pink eye.
