Contact lenses!!!!

[lovelyiam]

I have been wearing contact lenses with no problems for many years.
I am currently 21 years old.
So the problem is that even up to 3 weeks, I wore my contacts without any
problems.. but I've been getting blood-shot eyes after wearing
my contacts for the past 2 weeks ( however, I only wore in two occations...I've been wearing my glasses the whole time )
So I dont know what the problem is.. it's not like I was wearing my contacts excessively..
and I use Clean Clear Contact solution, and maybe I'm thinking the container is what the problem is?
Does using the old container makes cleaning less effective?

See your eye care provider ASAP to find out what's causing your problem.  Don't wear contacts that are making your eyes red.

Dear lovelyiam,

I would recommend that you seek the care of an eyeMD to determine the cause of your redness.   Possible diagnoses include dry eyes, giant papillary conjunctivitis [or an allergy to lenses], toxicity to the solutions.
