Optometrist help A.S.A.P.!?!
Question: Today when I put my contacts on, one of my eyes became irritated so I took both of them out and just put on my glasses. When I looked in the mirros at my eye that was irrated it has a little light pink on my eye. I know it's not pink eye because my dad's had that and it dosen't look anything like it. Do I have a infection or did it just happen becuase my eye was irritated?

You probably just had a speck of something on your lens that irritated your eye. Maybe makeup.
You were wise to take them out right away.
Clean your lenses well before trying them again.
You may also have a very small rip in the lens. Examine them well under a bright light to see if there is a small tear on the edge.
Your irritation should get better on it's own very soon.
