They can if when putting them in, you get lint on the contact lens. If you do get lint on them, just relax, take them out, put them back into the solution, and try again.

Answer

Pink eye, or conjunctivitis, can be caused in many ways depending on the type of pink eye you've got.

Allergic conjunctivitis is just what it sounds like, an allergic reaction, and most often comes along with a stuffy, itchy or runny nose.

If your contacts are ripped can you still wear them?
Im no optician but I am a fairly regular contact lens wearer. I would never where a torn contact lens. For one it would be uncomfortable, you would feel it on your eye and with you blinking it would get soar. Next, with the tear it will catch on and under your eye lid and who knows where it will move to. My advice, if you have your contacts on perscription delivered to your door then you are allowed one extra emergency pair every 3 months. But I must state that I only know this with my provider which is with spec savers. But either way, who ever your with just make a call and state that its urgent, whats the worst they can say!!

Well if you mean bloodshot it is probably caused by abrasions(scratches on the eye) from the contact moving as you blink.

You can wear your contacts when they are healed.
Bloodshot eyes can also result from lack of oxygen, as contact lenses restrict the amount of oxygen that can reach your eyes.

Some contact lenses are approved to sleep in because they offer higher oxygen transmission but you can also sleep occasionally in any contact. Each contact has a rating for how much oxygen is allowed through. O2Optix has a rating of ~110 and Biomedics has a rating of ~20. You can sleep in Biomedics but they are not anywhere near the ~100 rating needed to be recommended for sleep. Your eyes dry while you sleep and causes the contacts to become slightly dry. Blink a few times when you wake up and then keep your eyes closed and move your eyes. This will lubricate them and make them act normal.
Clean your contacts often and correctly and eye infections won't be a problem.
