Ok, is it possible to lose a contact lens behind your eye?
I have worn contacts for 16 years, and have never had a problem (besides an occassional eye infection). I wear the disposable lens' but I take them out every night. Yesterday morning when I put in the left contact, it hurt--I gently rubbed it, and it stopped hurting but the contact was no longer in my eye. I looked for it for a minute, but couldn't find it (which was no big deal since I could only see out of one eye:LOL). So I replaced it with a new one and didn't worry about it.
Well, this morning my eye was red. I decided to wear glasses today, which usually will clear up any irritation in my eyes--but it seems worse tonight
Should I call the eye doctor? Is it possible that the other contact is lost behind my eyeball or is that a totally irrational fear?
