“It is extremely unlikely, if not impossible, for soft lenses to get “lost in your eye”. This is one of those “scare your friends” stories that everyone hears but have no basis.”
squeak: I didn’t start talking about lenses getting “lost in your eye” to scare anyone. I did it to find out if anyone knows about it and how to stop it. This is not a made-up story. It happens to me many times. Here is what I said the first time I mentioned this “Anybody know why sometimes my contact lens disappears in my eye?”. “Anybody know…” is not a method of scaring, but of asking advice.
