whats going on?

It doesnt hurt or anything, its bloodshot thats all, and if i dont use contacts for more than 5 days they go away, but the eye doctor didnt say anything?

Answer 1

ack I can't help you, but only tell you that my eyes do that too!

Especially when I wear them for wayyy too long I look like a scary zombie thing ESP. when I don't have makeup on ughh

The only thing people will tell you is that they aren't being cleaned right you know..and I KNOW I have problems with that sometimes... but it shouldnt be the only reason you know..

Any little substance on your hands will affect the color of your eyes omg ESPECIALLY face wash its super deadly... I hope someone helps out so I can find out too!

Answer 2

That really isn't normal.  I recommend you discontinue using them until you speak with an optometrist about this.  You could possibly be at risk for an infection.  Check with your doctor again even they didn't say anything about it before.

Answer 3

yea i totally know what you mean mine do that too sometimes, and i don't even notice it really except sometimes if i don't blink they get a little foggy but when i blink it kind of goes away but people come up and ask me if i'm high.

It has happened to me probably 3 times and I've worn contacts for only a year, but it's mostly just that they are dry, especially if you may have alergies it dries at your contacts. I wasn't really sure what it is but best thing to do i soak your contacts every night and when they turn red get a little bot of the contact soultion and squirt it in your eyes about every hour. It should go away, but if it keeps continuing than you should go see your eye doctor.

Answer 4

you might need to switch the solution you soak them in at night.

Answer 5

It is possible that your eyes are sensitive and you need more sensitive contacts and solution.

There is a small chance on infection but because there is no pain, probably not.

You should ask your optometrist about it.

Answer 6

If your eyes do that when you wear them the solution is to stop wearing them. They are obviously agrivating you your eyes so stop using them. Go to the eye doctor and explain this and ask to get some that are a different brand or something like that. If your eyes still get all bloodshot then I'm afraid it's unlikely you will be able to wear them without this problem.

Answer 7

Are you new to wearing contacts?  It could be that your eyes are not used to having them in and they are getting bloodshot because they're a bit irritated.  

However, if you've been wearing contacts a long time and they're just getting bloodshot now, maybe you need to clean your lens better to remove the protein build up.  Or, is it time to change your lens to a new fresh pair?

Answer 8

Stop letting your boyfriend spooge in your eye.

That should clear it up.
