HELP contacts wont come out?!
Question: I dont know if it is in or out. On March 14th, my contact wouldnt come out. I wore it a little over 14 hours i think and tried getting it out. I was on a bus to disney with my school, so i didnt have much with me. I thought it was still in so i tried getting it out and kept irritating my eye. Now i am home and i am trying to get it out. I ignored it to not hurt my eye. I feel a little edge? like right on the colored part of my eye. So i think it is still in
I feel like im grabbing onto something. But it wont come out? Is it part of my eye?! or what. Im really worried. I cant see a contact in, nothing at all. How do i know it is in???
And how do i get it out? Im wearing soft lenses, and i have put lots of solution in my eye to try to get it moist to get it out. Im worried, someone please help me =[

If you have no one to help you and your afraid your pulling or scratching your cornea, call the non emergency fire department phone # and they will send someone out to help you out. In our county it is called a public assist, its free and most departments nowadays have medical first responders on their fire rigs.
Can you see like you have a lens in or not?
Yes- then it's still in there
No- it's not in there.......or......... it's rolled up and is under one of your eyelids.
Can you feel it under your eyelid? But you may have the sensation it's in there because you've been poking around with your eye for several days.
Go to your contact lens optician get them to check, that way it'll put your mind at ease. If it's there then they'll see it and will be able to get it out. If it happens again then go straight away, it can cause problems if you leave it there for days and days.
It might be lost above the center of your eye. Try to move it down by stroking your eyelid gently and rolling your eye. Check for the lens using good lighting and you may find it.
Calm down, this happened to me except i had one in for a month or more. You need to move the contact around in your eye with your finger, then you need to grab it out by the edges! good luck!
Get yourself to your eye doctor ASAP.
Phone you`re eye doctor before it gets infected!
