Stupid question about contacts...or anatomy?!


Question:

Stupid question about contacts...or anatomy?

This may sound really dumb, but can contacts theoretically get stuck in or around the back of your eye? I've thought about getting contacts but this has always stuck in the back of my head (pun intended). I mean, if the contact comes out and your roll your eye could it get stuck somewhere unreachable. Also, how uncomfortable are they? I have 20/20 vision so they wouldn't be prescription.


Answers:

First off they WOULD be prescription because you can only get them legally with a prescription. having no correction is a small part of the equation. There are base curves and diameters and all sorts of things to look at in fitting contacts. Whether they have power or not on the lenses does not mean that you do not need a prescription. For the rest of the question, there is a little picket just above your eye they can get stuck in, but they do not stay up there long when it happens. Mostly they stay on your cornea if they were fit right by your doctor. Your eye system is enclosed in a little baggie like membrane. Things can not get stuck in your head. Check out the picture of the side veiw of how your eye looks in the source I have listed! It is pretty cool! Do not be scared to get contacts and only your doctor can fit you right. Got it?
