Finding a "Lost" Lens
 

Lenses can't really get lost in your eye. A thick membrane called the conjunctiva keeps the lens from going behind your eye to your brain. But a lens can slip off your cornea and under your upper lid, where it seems to disappear.

You may have to try more than one tactic to retrieve the prodigal lens. 
Here's what to do, and in this order...

● Rewet your eye. One or two drops of artificial tears can help unstick a lens, especially if your eyeball is dry.

● Or exert gentle pressure. If your lens has slipped off your cornea and onto the flatter part of your eyeball, don't put your finger in your eye. Close your eye, press lightly on the lens underneath your eyelid and guide the lens back onto your cornea, which is more curved to keep your lens in place.

● Remember... "If in doubt, take them out!"
