What Causes Pink Outside The Edge Of The Iris?
So my eyes are pink outside of the edge of the iris, the left one is also a bit more pink. Do I have an infection in my eyes, or is this just strain caused by my contacts? They're monthly wear contacts that are allowed to stay on the eye 7 days and 6 nights. Should I be taking them out maybe 2-3 days to let them breathe more?

Hello
It seems from the history that you are having redness of eyes surrounding cornea. This can be because of injury to cornea by contact lenses or infection related to contact lenses.
The treatment is by use of antibiotic eye drops.
The use of contact lenses should be stopped till the condition is resolved as contact lenses can lead to worsening of the condition.
Thank you
