Contact lenses -> red eyes argh

Does anyone else get more red veins in their eyes when they wear contact lenses? It's really annoying because my eyes don't feel dry but they still go red-ish when I do wear them :| I only wear contacts every few days now. And it's even worse when I have eye makeup too. Anything I can do? (Apart from "don't wear contact lenses" would be appreciated) Thanks all!

Change to Acuvue Advance with hydraclear.

The increase in veins is called neovascularization. I had this problem prior to changing to these contacts. They are ultimately far more comfortable and allow me to wear them for longer periods of time.
