i once got a disposable contact stuck deep behind my eye and I couldn’t get it out. After fussing with it, which felt like forever, it seemed to disappear. I swore it went behind my eye but I visited the eye doctor, and he assured me that I must have blinked it out without realizing. He said that you would know if there was still something back behind your eyes, as even an eyelash will cause you major discomfort if it gets back there
He would often forget them and wear them to bed, sometimes for days, and then when he went to do things in the morning, sometimes one would be missing.
This went on for several years and one day he brings up some “minor discomfort” in his left eye.
After some deduction, a lot of eye rolling and tons of pain, they managed to get most of the pieces to about 10-12 contacts behind the left eye, and 4-5 in the right eye.
They sometime ripped and seprted into different spots around his eye and he apparently was in a massive mount of pain before actually speaking up about it.
I had an eyelash grow toward my eyeball once and I thought I was dying…
One should know. Apparently, some don’t notice for awhile.

When I asked her to look down, I could see the edges of a couple of contacts stuck to each other. Pulling them out, I felt like I could still see more and asked my assistant to get my phone to record the removal.
Asking the patient to look down again, I could see a huge, dark-purple blob of contact lenses stuck to her eye. It almost looked like a second pupil. I gently started using a Q-tip to peel the lenses apart one by one, like you would deal a deck of cards. They were coming out in a chain, drooping down her lid. There were a lot of contact lenses — I thought this could be my Guinness Book of World Record moment.
I actually got a contact stuck behind my eyelid for a few weeks. It felt like an eyelash and didn’t bother me too much until one day I saw a small blue thing on the top of my eye and after a lot of tries I got it out. It basically displved itself. I went to the doctor and just gave me some eye drops in case of infection but he said everything looked ok

My father in law used to wear contacts.
He would often forget them and wear them to bed, sometimes for days, and then when he went to do things in the morning, sometimes one would be missing.

Oh hell no.
You’ve somehow created a new phobia and solved it in the same paragraph. Good job!
