Answer 1

You didn't mention going to see the eye doctor so I'm assuming you didn't. If that's the case, I recommend that you visit your eye doctor and get a prescription for some antibiotic drops. Pink eye does not go away on its own. Oh, and don't reuse those contacts to avoid recontaminating.  

Answer 2

Did you go to the doctor?  You may need prescription medication to treat it as it could be bacterial pink eye.

Pink eye, also called conjunctivitis, can show up when you least expect it, and it is very contagious. There is more than one type of pink eye, and how you treat it depends on the type. If it is bacterial you need antibiotic ointment or drops. There is no particular treatment for viral pink eye. If it is an allergy that is causing your difficulty you may need anti-inflammatory medication or antihistamines. Frequent hand washing is crucial to prevent spreading the virus or bacteria, depending on which type you have.   There is also something called CLARE, or contact lens induced acute red eye. Sleeping in contacts makes the eye more susceptible to inflammation/infection.
