Adam is right.
Any type of contact lens certainly is NOT going to help the fact that your eyes are red and tired. If anything, contact lenses will make that worse.
Red, tired eyes can be caused by tons of things including allergies, dry eye, incomplete blinking, binocular vision problems, and more. A full comprehensive eye exam with an eye doctor (optometrist) can examine the health of your eyes and figure out what is going on so it can be fixed.
You can try eye drops, but again, since we do not know what the underlying cause is, no one can say if that is going to help anything or not. It might, but wouldn't you rather actually find out what is wrong with an eye exam?
If you are going to be using eye drops more than 4 times a day, it is best to get preservative free eye drops such as Refresh Optiv. But if you are going to use them less than that, I like the Systane Balance drops. There are tons, and tons, and tons of artificial tear drops out there. Those are just my 2 favorites.
But I would recommend to NOT get any drops that claim to "get the red out". If these types of drops are over-used, it can make your eyes look much worse than they do now since they work by constricting the blood vessels in your eye. It is best to just use artificial tears (lubricating drops) instead, like the 2 I just mentioned above.
But really, my best advice to you would be to have an eye exam to figure out WHY your eyes are red and tired in the first place.

Contact lenses don't make your eyes less red. Some brands (like the TruEye) are meant to make your eyes less red than they would be with other brands, but they aren't going to make your eyes look better than they currently do. You'd be much better off seeing an eye doctor and figuring out why your eyes are red in the first place -- is it eyestrain, dryness, allergy, etc -- and then treating that.
