Hello so i have been wearing contacts for a long time and i cannot find the contact in my eye and dont know to do ?

Need helper or doc: The contact most likely fell out, but the good news is that it can't go anywhere except under your eyelid. If it feels like it is on your eye, have an assistant (preferably your doctor) wash their hands and check your eye while you look in all directions, and also lift your eyelid slightly while you look down. Artificial tears will help to float it or move it so it can be removed.
