Soft
contact
lenses
occasionally
fold
in
the
eye
and
do
not
remain
on
the
cornea
(front
portion).
This
is
no
cause
for
alarm.
Although
the
contact
lens
can
never
be
lost
behind
the
eye.
It
may
become
lodged
under
the
eyelids
without
irritation
(usually
the
upper
lid).
In
this
case,
the
lens
should
be
located
and
removed
by
yourself,
or
if
you
cannot
find
it,
by
your
eye
care
practitioner
immediately.
‐
If
you
are
daily
wear
schedule,
do
not
sleep
with
the
lenses
on.
If
you
forget,
however,
check
to
see,
immediately
upon
awakening,
if
the
lenses
will
move
on
the
eyes.
If
they
do
not
move
readily,
do
not
attempt
to
remove
them.
Place
several
drops
of
a
recommended
lubricating
or
rewetting
solution
in
the
eyes
and
try
moving
them
again.
If
after
several
applications
of
solution
the
lenses
still
do
not
move,
contact
your
eye
care
practitioner
immediately.
