Ack! My contact lens is stuck in my eye!?!


Question: I dunno what happened this morning; I put in my contact just fine, no pain. Now, I just realized that my vision is a bit blurred. So I went into the bathroom to check it out. I'm not sure what I saw, but I'm pretty sure that my contact was lodged beneath my lower eyelid, so that the top of the contact barely covered my lower pupil. I can't tell if it's folded over or not, all I know is that now my eye is really red. Is there a way I can take this out? I have solution (the kind that you soak your contacts in), but can that be used to wash the contact out of my eye? What should I do?

Your eyeball is dried out. Squirt in a bit of solution (the stuff to soak should be fine, you only need a bit) and then you should be able to slide the contact right out. Sometimes you have to push up a bit from the outside of your eyelid...sort of rub up a bit where the lens is stuck. (does that make any sense?)

use your finger to take it out, i know it will hurt, but it will work. sorry about your eye

Ack! my ice cube is stuck in my drink. j/k if you cant take it out, ask your parent for help, if they cant go to a doctor, and relax

try and work it out of there or try and blink it into place, i know when that happens to me i try and move it to one side and then pinch it out

touch the little bit of the contact you can see wwith a Q-tip... sounds weird but just try it sometimes it works
