Is it possible that I have a contact stuck in my eye?!


Question: Is it possible that I have a contact stuck in my eye?
When I removed my contact yesterday, I noticed that there was a small semicircle piece missing from it. The piece was about a sixteenth of an inch (1/16 in). Today, I didn't wear my contacts and the eye has been bothering me all day. I'm not sure if it is possible that the piece could be in my eye or I'm just being a hypochondriac. I was wondering if there is way to tell if it is actually in eye, and how to get it out. Thanks for you help!!!

If your eye is tearing and uncomfortable the bit of lens could have caused a corneal abrasion and/or may still be in your eye. The only way to be sure is to see an eye specialist who can examine your eye. Yahoo answerers can only give best guesstimates, only and eye specialist can give you a definitive diagnosis and proper treatment.

In the meantime, keep the contact lenses out of your eye until you see your eye doc.

it is possible to have the piece stuck in you eye, but more likely the rough edge has made a minute scratch on you eye. The best thing to do is rinse your eye well with saline and see what that does.
