Question 1

how do i get a contact literally stuck to my eye out?

Accepted Answer

Carefully: If you cannot remove the contact and you cannot get someone else to get it out for you, you may be able to get one of the small suction cups made for this and remove the contact.  If that fails, you cannot flush it out or flip it out or "pinch it out" then you may have to seek medical care from your eye care professional or pcp or urgent care center.

Depends: If it is a hard contact, you could get a small suction device that you can get at a local optometry office or pull your eyelid to the side and blink it out.  If it is a soft contact, you can move the lens with your finger up or down or to the side and squeeze it out with your fingers.   If you think it is stuck under the eyelid somewhere and can't get it out, see your eye doctor.
