Anyone wear contact lenses?

I have a poorly eyeball

I was in the shower and rubbed my eye and thought my contact had come out, i checked and couldnt see it in my eye (i spent a while rubbing it to see if it would appear but it didnt) so i put another one in.. yesterday it got really sore so i've had to take it out again and am wearing my glasses but its still quite painful and uncomfortable... i am scared in case i've 'lost' the other lense in my eye socket now somewhere! Anyone had any experience of this? If it doesn't clear up by mid week i'll be going to the Opticians..

I did a similar thing years ago and it came out by itself later in the day...just sort of appeared.

I googled and found this advice

thanks Angel!! I've never got one stuck before so hopefully it'll come out itself ... i hate the opticians - always want to laugh when they are right up close to my face looking in my eye!

I hate that light they shine in and you can see all your eye veins (or whatever they are)!

I'll bear it in mind if I ever lose a limb.

I lost a lens which I thought must have fallen out, the Opticians advised to lift the eye lid slightly and massage around that area,
The lens then popped into place.

despite this - getting lenses was the best thing i ever did! you would be amazed at how much you've missed even by having your glasses on

Oh dear, same thing happened to me last year I tried for hours to get it out and just left it and it popped back out. I have stopped wearing them though because my eyes dont like lenses...

I was drunk once (well..more than once actually

) and I was plucking at my eyeball to take my CL out and couldn't remove it

after several minutes of eyeball-abuse, I realised I'd already taken it out

Maz that has happened to me and the more I panicked about it the sorer my eye got. It can't actually go anywhere so it will come out eventually but I don't think you should wear another pair until te first one re-appears. Just massage round your eyelids and it should eventually come out.

Mummy Maz, I once lost half a lens in my eye, got it out by pouring a bottle of mineral water in my open eyeball it isn't painful but will flush it out. Failing that you may have scratched you eye with the rubbing. I once had a scratched cornea if it is really sore ( I felt like I had pulled a muscle in my eye then after a day or two it went totally red) then go straight to hospital as they will need to treat it with drops.

Owww!

I've had this happen a couple of times too - years ago I must have been unlucky enough to get a bad batch and they kept breaking up while I was wearing them.

I just kept flushing my eye with saline solution and then blinking a lot to try and get the bit/s back to the front where I could then fish them out but as Jonono says you might just have scratched your eye, that makes it feel like there's something in there too.

Either way, if your still in a lot of discomfort tomorrow I think it'd be best to pop along to your optician to be on the safe side.
