Is it possible to loose a contact lens in your eye?!
Question:
Is it possible to loose a contact lens in your eye?
I was rubbing my eye pretty hard with my contact in when I felt it move out of place in my eye. I ran to the bathroom to pull it out, but I couldn't find it anywhere. I can feel something in the back of my eye socket beyond reach, but I'm not sure if it's the contact lens or just irritation from rubbing it. Is it possible that the lens could have gotten pushed to the back of my eye and if so, how can I remove it?
Answers:
you can't lose a contact in your eye.. no place for it to go other than the way you put it in.. it might have folded and is sitting towards the back of the eye.. if it's back there, it feels like a rock and it is hard to blink or move your eye.. rinse the eye with copiuos amounts of saline solution to 'float' it out.. this has happened to me on more than one occasion and irrigated the eye produced a folded, mangled contact.. it might have even fallen out by rubbing it and your eye is very irritated.. hope this helps..
