Is it possible to get contacts stuck behind the eye?!


Question: Is it possible to get contacts stuck behind the eye?
I don't have regular contacts tho... I have these contacts called CRT lenses and there not bendable or soft. They're gas permeable and kinda hard.. But anyway... I was taking them out one morning, and it kinda hurt when i took it out so i took out my other one, but when i went back to it, it wasn't there. I looked everywhere, on the floor, counter top, in the trashcan. its nowhere and I'm kinda panicking now...and i don't really want to go to the doctor bc he's reallyyyyy far away, and i don't really feel like going there....sooooo, help?

Answers:

no.... the clear cover of the eye that your lens sits on ,the conjunctiva, starts at the edge of the eyelid, goes back partway over the eyeball, then folds and comed down over to the cornea , goes under the eyeball again, folds again, and comes back forward to end at the bottom eyelid edge.... so your contact can slip into the fold, perhaps, but no further.... if you can't get it, you'll need the doctor or an urgent care center... maybe a pharmacist could help,in a pinch.....
