Rinse: Try using your contact lens solution (if it is an 'all in one') to rinse out the lens. If that does not work, you may need to come to the eye doctor and have them find and remove it. Occasionally, we see patients who actually do not have the lens still in, but the eye is irritated from the attempts to remove it!
