Accidently sleeping with contacts on?

Question

I slept with contacts on, but woke up and didnt see them on.

i was super drunk so I dont even remember if I took them out or not, are they in the back of my eye its been a week now actually so will I be okay? or did I take them out since I havent seen them and its already been a little over a week now.

Answer 1

contacts cannot go to the back of your eye. a membrane prevents it. but it could be folded up under your top eye lid. but you would be able to feel it. if you cant find them there prob out. can you see normaly? i mean is your vison bad enough where you can tell when you dont have them in?

Answer 2

You would know if they had been in there over a week.  While they can not go anywhere behind your eye, your eye would have started to get mucousy in an attempt to dislodge them.  To be assured, go into the shower, turn your head towards the flow of the water and open your eyes.  Keep them open and look from side to side, up and down.  IF they are in there, they will come out.  You would be able to feel them if they were both in there and folded over or such.  If you cant do the shower thing, simply get an eye wash cup, fill it with bottled water and use it as you would if you had splashed something in your eyes. Again, IF they were in there, that would bring them out.  I sincerly do not think they are in there, however.  

If you are still worried, pop into your optometrist's office.  One of their assistants or an optician/contact lens practioner will be able to take a look for you, and remove them if they are in there.

Good luck. :)

Answer 5

I used to sleep with my contacts on all the time. Never had them move. I have had them fold in my eye, but I KNEW it! (not comfortable) After a week you would probably know if they were still in your eye. Figure that you lost them at this point.
