I have lost two contacts in my eyes. I felt them hurt once but bc i was taking a test at school i didn't want to make a big deal so i just blinked my eyes until it stopped hurting. i then noticed i couldn't see so i went to the bathroom and i looked every where in my eye for my contact. i know it didn't fall off. so what happens is is dangerous? i lost my contact a month ago but i haven't had any problems, but i just want to be sure.

if you lost the contact a month ago - if it was still in your eye you would have blood shot eyes by know fromthe irratition - are you sure they did not fall out and you did not realize it.

Call an eye doctors office. They may have you come in but most likely they'll tell you over the phone what to do or try first, and follow up later. Dont take the risk of just letting them stay in there, your eyes are precious and you'll regret having serious issues over something that could have easily been avoided.

You need to try to find it. It is probably up under your eyelid. Put some of your wetting drops in your eye and pull your top lid out by your lashes and take your finger and on the outside of your lid, rub from the top down. If you can't find it and sure it is in there, go tomorrow and see an eye dr.

Sometimes my contacts roll back in to my eyes, but you can DEFINITELY feel them and they slowly come back in to view, usually folded/scrunched up. Are you SURE it didn't fall off? if you blinked alot I'm pretty sure it could have popped out unnoticeably. If it is stuck somehwere in your eye, I'd recommend seeing a doctor because it can lead to serious infections.

Yes, it is dangerous--you could get an infection. Go to the dr. and get him to get it out for you.
