Lost contact lens in eye?

[catbobmac]

I just found a contact in the corner of my eye that had been lost somewhere in my eye for almost 72 hours. Hurt like heck! It can't get lost in your eye permanently due to the structure of your eye.

I feel as if i might have sprayed my contact out of my eye with disinfectant solution as i was walking tilted to one side - i had both on and 30 minutes later i went to check my eyes and one was missing - i am scated that its behind my eye or rolled up- would i feel pain ?

I have "lost" a contact in my eye before and it hurt like h--l until I finally found it curled up and got it out. With that said, this morning, I was putting my left Accuvue 2 contact in and somehow I messed up. It hurt so bad and I could not see where it went. I just knew it had curled or folded up. I did all the right things with attempting to flush it, blink, etc. to find it and get it out. After about 6 minutes of trying to find it, suddenly my eye didn't hurt anymore. Hmmm. I bet it flipped or flushed out somewhere in the bathroom. So I put a new contact in and started to work on my computer. I felt just fine. About an hour later, I felt something in the very inner corner of my eye. No pain at all. I walk into the bathroom and OMG, there is this tiny and shiny curled up blob in the corner of my eye! A first for me and why didn't this contact hurt while it "hid" somewhere in my eye?

First off, none of us are 'eye doctors' on here, so proceed at your own risk -

Have you tried the following?
1) Rinsing your eye with contact solution to lubricate your eye
2) Wash both hands and fingernails thoroughly
3) Wet the end of the index finger you use to insert your contact with contact solution or clean water
4) Gently use that wet finger tip to try and locate and remove the problem contact

Hopefully between the rinsing of the eye with contact solution and the wet finger tip, you may be able to find and dislodge the problem contact. Sometimes you may have to wait awhile (sleep) before it moves back to a place where you can more easily find it.

The best solution is to see an eye professional as soon as you can get to one ! Good luck!

I might of mentioned this on this thread, but I will say it again. It's an old wives tale, but it works:

Hold& pull your eyelid and spit 3 times in the sink. It works for me~! Let me know if it works for you. Wh at is a paraperm~? I've never heard of it~? Are they daily wear contacts~?

Yes...it happens!!! I thought mine had fallen out 3 weeks ago I got an infection in my eye and thought it was from me touching it so much the day I was trying to locate the contact in my eye. It’s been leaking stuff YUK! But tonight the contact finally reared it’s head out of no where... What?!.. i couldn’t believe it. It was lost in my eye socket somewhere, i just can’t believe it’s been 3 weeks! Guess i know what the problem is now. Crazy! #contactlife
