When I had taken off my contact lens, I noticed what looks like a piece of contact lens on my eye. However, the contact lens I was wearing was not torn. I wonder if it could have been a piece from a torn contact lens I took off LONG TIME AGO.
I can't find that piece. I have no pain, irritation or loss of vision. Can it cause problem to my sight? What should I do? I have no health insurance.

I would at least go to an eye doctor - you should be going yearly for an eye exam anyway. It won't cost too much- and would be worth the piece of mine!

Do what your contact lens optician advised you when you first had contact lenses... In the event of any problems go to them immediately. They'll look in your eye and check if the piece is in there. It might have been torn before you put the lens in or it could have come out when you removed the lens. The only way you'll know is to have the optician check. If the piece of lens is still in there then yes, it could cause problems. Just go to your lens provider, you may have to pay for the check but your eyes are priceless and irreplaceable so take care of them!

It was probably just some garbage in your eye.
i wouldn't worry about it if you have no pain or irritation. If it were in your eye for a while, you would have known it.
