What happened with my eye contacts?!
Question:
What happened with my eye contacts?
I had my contacts in during lunch when all of asuden it was so blurry in my right eye, so I figured it was dried out or something. Tried takeing it out but it felt like it wasn't in there. I couldn't tell if it was or wasn't. But my eye hurt and it felt like it was in there and was tared or something.
But I just assumed that it popped out. So anyways, I go to bed and then I wake up and I can actually see with out putting on my glasses or contacts and then I looked in the mirror and saw my right eye contacts was actually in. WHAT THE HECK HAPPENED? Before when I tried takeing it out it felt like I was touching my eye and it felt like it wasn't there and now it was.
Answers:
It probably slid under the eyelid. This is not uncommon. Sometimes the steam of hot soup or an accidental bang on the eye can make the lens slide under the eyelid. If the lens cannot be repositioned on the cornea, it is under the eyelid and can be easily slid or moved to its correct position on the cornea (sometimes requiring the help of the fitter). It will do no harm if it is under the eyelid for a number of hours.
