Contact Lenses by Beth Ann Ditkoff

Can your contact lens get lost in your eye and float into your brain?

No! Your eyelids, both top and bottom, are connected to the eyeball itself, thus preventing the contact lens from drifting behind your eye. If your contact lens is not centered over the front of your eye (the colored part , is the iris, and the dark circle, or the pupil), it can not help you see. Sometimes the contact can fold up on itself and drift to the side of your eye. By gently feeling the surface of your eye, you can usually find out where it is.
