they rest on your eyes, between your eyes and right? like they sit on top of your eyeballs like glasses would on your face...it sounds stupid that they would be in your eyes..and they defend it by saying if you get poked do you get poked in your eye or on your eye..

They go inside your eyelids but on top of your actual eye.

Contact lenses, in general, lie on the cornea, the clear layer of tissue in front of the iris. They can be removed every day, or left in up to a month in some cases.
This accounts the vast majority of contact lens wear.
But there are exceptions: more than one type of "implantable contact lens" exists, with some being inserted in the anterior chamber (behind the cornea and in front of the iris) and others within the cornea itself.
Examples below.

It depends on how you define "eye": do you mean the opening in your face to either side of your nose, or the stuff inside the opening.
if the former, then in, if the latter, then out.
consider: are the following part of the eye:
eye ball
eye socket
eye lid
-if you can get consensus on them, then the answer is simple.
(this is what's known in Philosophy as an "Argument of Definition")

OK.
Technically, they sit right on top of your cornea, underneath the lid.
But I've been wearing contacts since I was 10, and never once have I or anyone I've ever met said, "I need to go put my contacts ON." You always talk about putting them "in."
So unless you are aiming to change the lexicon of contact-lens wearers, you may just have to defer to your "dumb" friends on this one, kiddo.

on your eyes..if your contacts go in your eyes,you we're practically saying that it goes beyond and inside your eyes literally.the contacts sits on the top of your eyes,so,it's on your eyes.you just said that it sits "on" top of your eyeballs,you don't go inside the iris to put the contacts.i agree to your friends..

They rest on your eyeball under your eyelid.

Well, you put your contacts in your eyes, but they rest on your eyes. So, I guess you are all right. =]
