What are some ways to retrieve a contact lens lost in the eye?

Ways to retrieve a contact lens from the eye depends on where the contact is stuck. If the contact is stuck in the middle of the eye, rinse the contact with saline and gently message the upper eyelid until the lens moves, says Shofner Vision Center.

Moving the eye in the opposing direction to where the contact lens is assumed to be located is another way to retrieve a lost contact lens. A lens is sometimes retrieved by administering eye drops to the eye and messaging the eyelid. If all these methods are exhausted and the lens is still not retrieved from the eye, AllAboutVision.com recommends seeking medical attention.
