Answer 1

This happens to me too sometimes.  I find that it is in the corner of my eye and sometimes it is folded on top of itself so I have to really look for a long time before I can get it out.  I usually use eye drop, or look for it in the mirror for a long time before I give up.  I can feel the contact in my eye and know when it is still in there somewhere.  You should eventually be able to tell when the lens is still in your eye.  If you still feel it in there keep looking.

hi,first of all avoid wearing contacts while sleeping..it might give u a irritating,watery,red eyes next morning...

this time it might have not damaged your eyes.don't worry..but don't forget to remove those next time....contact lens doesn't damage ur eyes in anyways directly .....but can only cause infections if u not using it in proper hygienic way...have a great evening

You don't have to go to the doctor's because nothing serious happened to your eye since this is the first time, but you have to be a bit more cautious and always take out your contacts before going to bed, or your at a high risk of getting a nasty infection like I did.

Answer 4

I've worn contacts for almost ten years now and I've had the same thing happen to me a couple times. Your eye is probably just a little dry, but most likely nothing harmful happened. Only reason to go to the doctor is if you start to notice pain in your eye over the next couple days.

But since you said it didn't irritate you at all, I doubt anything serious happened.

Answer 5

there should be no problem because the lens is very soft.  you might just want to get a new contact since the lens might have gotten scratched a little
