I have had contacts as well. It may not even be in the eye any longer...BUT if it is and it is not coming out and you have flushed the eye with water etc. YOU better hit the optomitrist, and get it checked out.
The human eye is nothing to fool around with.
I once delayed an injury to my own eye, as it felt meaningless and puny of an injury at the time. Later on that night, woke up at 3am due to pain shooting thru the eye, and ended up in the ER cuz the eye so swollen up, over the hours and turned all fuglie black blue purple and had been injured far more than I had ever fathomed it was injured.
*thus do not mess around with your eye or eyesight if no solution get in there first chance ya get to optomitrist or ER if need be see if they can find the lense ..or not and check for any injury etc.
*ie dont end up with an eye bandage on ye eye for 12 days cuz of something dumb or neglectful we did to our eye, cuz that sucks and hurts*
