I wear contact lenses for about 13-15 hours a day and ive been getting like these red wavery veins from the outer side of my eyes. It could be from wearing contact lense too long , and maybe because the lenses itselfs making my eyes red. I hate it everytI ame i put them on, my eyes dont look clear and white. I also notice other people that wear contact lenses but their eyes look natural and pretty with no sign of redness/ veins. So what should i do ?

I used to wear HARD contacts, (that was before they made gas permeable,) and my eyes were always red and "veiny." Those contacts sucked all the tears out of my eyes. My eyes are extremely dry now, hardly any tears. I think this only happens with hard lenses.
I don’t wear the contacts anymore, and the whites of my eyes are white. I do still have a vein showing in each in eye. That’s quite common though.
You really should see your optometrist, and be sure to have your tear production checked. If you don’t have astigmatism, and if your eyes are not dry, you could switch to soft lenses. Then, I believe the whites of your eyes would be white.
Best of luck to you.
wear glasses, use Systane, and see your eye doctor.
You should go see your eyedoctor. My friend had the same problem and eventually got pink eye. He got some eyedrops for them, but you should really see your eyedoctor and talk to him/her about it. Your eyes might also be irritated from wearing the contact lenses for too long so you might want to take them out and rest your eyes for a while.
Hope that helped && feel better!!
