Accepted Answer

Need to examine: It is not feasible to provide a meaningful opinion without additional history, physical examination and may be some tests. It would be prudent to see a doctor. Regular exercise may help in loosening the muscles, Raising core body temperature through exercise will improve muscle tone and flexibility.
Get HPV and Covid vaccines.
Wish you good health!

Question 4

can a contact lens get stuck behind your eye?

Accepted Answer

No: The membrane that covered the white part of the eye extends up under the eyelid and then returns down as the inner lining of the eyelid.  As such it creates a pocket up under the lid that will prevent a contact lens from going behind your eye.  A contact lens can get stuck up in this fornix but it can be removed.

Question 5

can a contact lens get lost in an eye, it was so dry when eye was rubbed it got lost inside eye, what should i do?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Contact  lenses can get lost in the conjunctival fornix and can be found by careful examination and removed with  little effort.

Question 6

should i get contact lens solutions with thimerasol?

Accepted Answer

Not necessarily: Thimerasol is preservative used in some contact lens solutions.  It  can actually cause an allergic reaction in some individuals.  There are also many other effective solutions available without thimerasol.  Really any commercially available solution should be effective.  The best advice is proper eye and contact lens care.  Clean and replace contacts as directed.

Question 7

how to get contact lens prescription without a contact lens fitting?

Accepted Answer

Not recommended: I would not recommend this. Your eyes are so precious, why would you want to take a chance on them? Make sure you get the right kind for your eyes. Make sure there is nothing wrong with them too. Save up a little more and  get them fitted the right way. Your eyes are worth it!

Question 8

contact lens: are my eyes too small or do i have to get used to not blinking when i put them on?  something's not working.

Accepted Answer

Maybe not used to it: If you are not used to contact lenses it might be hard to wear them at first, but it should get easier with time.  Glasses are also good, but they can also take time to get used to.  It is good to be able to use both.  If the problems persist, see your eye doctor.

Question 9

what can you do if you can't get the contact lens in at all?

Accepted Answer

Practice: Use a mirror and practice. You could always go back to glasses or consider refractive surgery like lasik.

Question 10

wanted to know where can i get a free contact lens prescription without purchase?

Accepted Answer

Many places: Most eye doctors will give you a contact lens prescription to be used anywhere you would like and in fact have to do this by law in most cases.  You will have to pay for the examination and measurements.  It is after all a service that you would not expect to be given for free.
