Answer 1

Yes, I think it can. One of my elementary teachers went on a roller coaster and her contact was pushed to the back of her eyeball.

Answer 2

Ir probaly fell out, but yes it can go to the back of your eye, my friend forgot to take hers out n went to sleep she woke up and the optition said it went behind her eye, get it checked out just in case

Answer 3

yes I've heard that before. but you should count yourself lucky really though my sisters bf told me when they were made of glass it went around someones eye and it made them blind! go see an optician they'll tell you know what to do.  

Answer 4

It is physically impossible for a contact to get stuck behind your eye, there is a membrane there to keep that from happening. It is, however, possible for a contact to get suck under your upper eyelid, if it's folded, it can be difficult to find. Lubricate your eye with eyedrops or saline solution and gently massage your eyelid trying to pull the contact down to wear you can grab it. If you still can't find it, it will usually will appear in a day or two or you can go to your doctor and they can put dye in your eye and find it.

Answer 5

It probably was too dry and fell out, ive had this happen before.. but no it is impossible for a contact to go behind your eye

Answer 6

Most likely, you scrathed your eye, and the contact fell out.

It really is impossible for your contact to 'fall back into your head.'   Your eye is contected to your brain, though the socket, by this strand of fibers, nerves, etc.  There's no room behind your eye for the contact to go.  

There is the possibility that it could be stuck on TOP of your eye, but I' msure it would have fallen out by now.   It's probably just scratched and lost.
