Do color contact lens cause red-eye in photographs?

In every single photograph taken of me I have red eye. I wear color contact lenses and was wondering if this could be the reason why it always happens. In my camera I enable the red-eye reduction filter and it works really well for me, however I always seem to get red-eye when other people take photos.

I know red-eye has to do with light reflection off of the eye (sorry, not an expert) and I wouldn't be surprised if even regular contacts caused this to happen.

Oh and my contacts are not tinted-red

Thanks!

The red eye you see in pictures is caused by the flash in the camera reflecting off the back of your eye where there's all the blood vessels. I notice it especially in people with blue eyes for some reason, but usually it's caused by poor quality flash, or just a flash that's at the wrong angle or at the wrong timing.

Your colored contacts or any other contacts should have absolutely nothing to do with it =)
