Not good: Red eyes and contact lenses are not a good combination. It may be the contacts are too "tight" you may have developed an allergy or your eyes are too dry to wear contact.

GPC: This is probably a contact lens overwear situation, and may be a problem called gpc (giant papillary conjunctivitis). The first thing to do is stop the contact lenses! then see a doctor for treatment. This is probably not pink eye, which is why your pink eye drops don't help.
