Contact lenses - I think I might have lost them... Help?!


Question: My contacts felt uncomfortable to wear this morning, so I used eye-drops on them. But one of my eyes suddenly went blurish. I can't tell if the lense dropped out or if its still inside, stuck somewhere.

My eye feels a little 'heavy' but it doesn't sting or anything. I tied rolling my eyes, rubbing them and cleaning them with eye drops. Nothing came out so I just inserted a new lens in and my eyes felt okay throughout the day.

I just took off my lenses and my eye still feels heavy. Could this be because of the lense that's maybe still stuck somewhere?

Never fear, your contact can never become lost in your eye. It may be folded over along the edge of your eye somewhere.
Whatever you do, you shouldn't rub your eyes if you have contacts in.

You can try to get close to a mirror and investigate the eye to see if maybe it is curled up somewhere along the eye.

However, if you find nothing, maybe it is your imagination playing tricks on you or your eyes are actually tired.

i doubt it. its pretty tough for lenses to get stuck up in your eye after what u did. im sure its just ur imagination.

Maybe it went down behind your eye.

It's highly improbable that that the lens is stuck anywhere in your eye. Maybe it's still a little dry or something, or maybe it's your subconscious mind doing this. If it really feels heavy, you should see a doctor, but I don't think it's necessary. I've heard it's impossible for the lens to go to the back of your eye.
