Contact lenses stuck in the eyes

[Shamalka]

I have been using fashion lenses for quite some time now. But I use them very rarely... However, few times I have noticed that lenses don't come out easily. They get stuck!!! I was panicked but after using the MPS, they came out. But is it normal? Is it because my eyes are dry? Are lenses safe?

I am really worried about this. Shall I continue using lenses?

I tried using them, I had the same problem, in fact, I no longer wear any type of contact. I would say that your eye being dry could have some bearing on this, and yes, in some folks, I guess it is normal. As to safety, well, I know a lot of folks wear them, but, in my opinion, anything that is against your eye like that can't be the best thing in the world for them. I would ask your eye doctor as well about this.

Dear Shamalka,

I would recommend that you seek the care of an eyeMD and have the fit examined. Also, get retrained in removal of the lenses.
