Contact lens keeps floating to top of eyelid?

Question

Well lately, my contact lens on my right eye has been strange. My contact keeps floating upward and doesn't stay in the center like it should. It's been like this for a couple of weeks now. I've replaced my lenses, but it keeps happening. Anyone know what's wrong?

Answer 1

who knoes... go see the eye docter

Answer 2

It could be inside out...if you've tried flipping it over and it's no better, then there may be a condition known as GPC (giant papillary conjunctivitis).  This makes for rubbery bumps on the back of your eyelid that grab the lens and pull it up when you blink.  It is a form of allergy that contact lens wearers can develop.  Do your eyes itch or make you want to rub them when you remove your contact lenses?  This is a sign of GPC.  At any rate, you should see your eye doctor for proper diagnosis and treatment....

Answer 3

Usually, when that happens to me, it's because of dryness of the eye.  My doctor told me not to hang around in air conditioning.  It totally depends on your environment.
