To ask for your sure-fire way of removing a contact lens?

Leave it. If you cannot see it, you’ll not get it out. Wait until tomorrow morning and try again(if you can see it). If not, go to your optician first thing

I don't touch my contact lens with my fingers at all to get them out. I open my eyes very wide, then put the side pad of my index finger on the lash line/very edge of my top eyelid, and the side pad of my thumb on my very edge of my lower lid. Then I gently press my eyelids into my eyeballs and my fingers control a blink. My eyelids are then doing the pinch rather than my fingers and my lenses pop right out.
I use dailies so I do this over the sink, but you could catch the lens with your other hand if you were using monthies.

Cover your other eye, if you can't see well it's stuck somewhere behind.

If it's properly in the front, make sure your hands are very dry. Look up and to the side, and do a quick pinch, not in the very centre but slightly towards the edge of the lens.

Contact lenses cannot go behind your eye, it could be stuck under a lid. Use the drops and get assistance first thing if I luck. Chances are its already out and your fishing around in your eye without a lens in.

Are you sure it's not out all ready? I've done that before, been pulling at my eye getting it all irritated and then realised its come out already!

If it is 'behind' your eye don't panic. It can't go anywhere! Just use lots of eyedrops and try and blink it into view. If in doubt go to the optometrist.

If it was me I'd try to leave it alone for a bit so it can calm down, then try and have another look. If you have someone else with you get them to look while you roll your eyes around

Ahh sorry I thought you meant it was stuck at the back. You can normally tell as you can feel it if that is the case. I just pinch mine either side to get them out.

I agree with opening your eye wide and pinching - also make sure that your fingers are really dry would be my best tip.

I always use a pinch method.
Kind if mimicking how you would get an eyelash off your cheek but use the side of you forefinger and thumb.

I could never pinch mine to remove, I always pull them down to the bottom of my eye so they crumple up on my bottom lid.

I've fallen asleep with them in by accident before, and put loads of drops in and they've come right out.

But - Is it definitely still in your eye, and definitely over your iris, can you see it? I've accidentally poked myself in the eye before when trying to remove a lens that isn't there...

You sure it hasn’t popped out already?
I take mine out by pulling at the outer corner of my eye and blinking

Look at your nose and wipe your finger across towards the edge of your eye
Always gets mine out and I struggle any other way
You can pinch it once you've wiped it across your eye

It will come out on its own. Just keep putting eye drops in. Try not to touch your eye too much. I tend to wait for a bit after drops and then really move my eye ball around to get in to come unstuck. I've been wearing lens for 30 plus years and this has happened a lot and I've never needed to seek assistance in getting it out. Just don't panic and keep putting the drops in and moving your eyeball around.

Its probably not got enough lubricant if your eye is dry. Do you have any comfort eye drops or similar? Do not use ordinary water or other eye drops that are not suitable for lenses.

You need to slide the lens across the eyeball, or pinch it up to break the vacuum its created on your eye.

Blink lots, add drops if you have them and go for it. If your eye is sore tomorrow, use Brolene drops for a day or two (without lenses).

I just do a ‘big pinch’ sort of action - open up the eye with one hand, and with the other - fingers to the sides of eyes and bring towards the middle and it should pick up the edges and pull it out x

Give it a few hours and it will pop back round and you'll be able to get it out. Hideous when it happens but not unusual, if it's still there in the morning go to the opticians.

Pretty much this.

Is it stuck behind your eyeball?
