Removing stuck contact lens can be difficult. Removing stuck contact lens can also be uncomfortable.

If you have a problem removing stuck contact lens, do not panic. Removing stuck contact lens can be relatively easy if you remain calm and have a plan.

Begin removing stuck contact lens by washing your hands and make sure the drain in the sink is closed. Put your index finger on your lower eyelid and pull the eyelid down. Continue removing stuck contact lens by touching the lower edge of the contact lens with the tip of a finger. Try removing stuck contact lens by looking up and trying to slide the lens down toward the white of your eye.

Removing stuck contact lens at this point can be tricky if it is truly stuck. Try looking up and holding the lens under your index finger. Move your thumb and try to compress the lens carefully between your thumb and index finger. Removing stuck contact lens may become rather aggravating so use some patience and try a few re-wetting drops.

When you are removing stuck contact lens and you wear hard contacts you can try using a plunger. You will not have any luck removing stuck contact lens if they are the soft variety.

Back to removing stuck contact lens of the hard variety with a plunger. This works well and is very effective. You moisten the cup of the plunger and place it right on top of the lens. The lens should be easily removed because it will stick to the plunger. Removing stuck contact lens this way usually is the best plan.

When you have soft contacts, removing stuck contact lens is a little trickier. You have to use your fingers and just keep lubricating your eye.

Removing stuck contact lens is not much fun but it can be done. If you really have a serious problem removing stuck contact lens, contact your ophthalmologist.

Today I had two contact lenses in the same eye (don't ask) and could not get them out even with the help of some family members. They were stuck together and lubricating drops just got the pair to move together, but not out.

After watching the demo of professional contact lens removal tools over on good old YouTube, I got inspired and decided to use a pair of latex gloves. I kept them dry, touched the lenses, squeezed, and Bingo! out on the first try.

First of all do not panic... If the eye is glued shut seek medical attention and do not attempt to pry apart. If its floating around in your eye you can go to Target, Wal-Greens or where ever and purchase some eye cleansing solution. Wash your eye out and cover it.... Problem should be solved. Good luck

The first thing you can try is putting a few eyedrops in the affected eye, then blink a few times. Hopefully your eye will tear up enough that it will wash the eyelash out. Another thing you can try is to wet the tip of a cotton swab and gently brush the eyelash away. Be careful not to put too much pressure on your eye, doing so may cause you to scratch your retina as you sweep the eyelash across your eye.

Gently holding back the eyelid while using an eyewash is probably the safest way that can be tried as first aid. If an eyewash will not dislodge it, you will probably have to have a qualified doctor find and remove it.

you use eye droplets and blink a lot to get it out if its really deep in your eye.

This depends on the type of nail.

If it's a fingernail, then have someone carefully remove it while you hold your eye open.

If it's a metal nail, consult a doctor ASAP.
