My eye, contacts.?

Question

I haven't worn contacts all summer, only like 2 days the whole summer because I am too lazy to put them in. Well i went tanning today and didn't feel like wearing my glasses so i put my contacts in and now my eyes are pinkish/red. This happens whenever I put them in or try to put them in now...why are my eyes doing this? I've been wearing contacts for like a little over a year now.

Your eyes might just be irritated. And maybe something happened to your contacts in the sun?  Possibly if you were at the beach you got sand in your eyes? My advice would be to get a new pair of contacts but wait a few days before you put them in. Let your eyes rest, and maybe put some eyedrops in. When they feel better, you could try to put your contacts in again, but carefully.
