Is it safe if a contact rolls to the back of your eye?

Won't disappear to : The back. Try to flood the eye with saline and get the contact lens out. It could cause infection if left in more than a day.

Contact lenses: A contact lens that rolls underneath your eyelid can only go back so far because of how the conjunctiva covers the surface of the eye. I definitely agree that you need to try to get that out as quickly as possible to help reduce the swelling and prevent infection. If you can't get it out yourself, go see your eye physician.
