Uh, where did it go?
I woke up and was rubbing my eyes, I wear contact lenses, so usually a little eye rub clears them up.
My right lens sorta disappeared.
It didn't pop out.
It didn't fold in half and get stuck under my lid.
It just vanished, except for the mild irritation I feel behind my eye.
Is that possible?
Can a contact lens go behind your eyeball?
I tried grabbing my lid by the lashes and blinking.
I tried flooding it with an eye wash cup.
I tried lifting my lid up and attempting to look for it, but nope, can't see it at all.
So, I put another contact lens in so I can see.
My vision is fine, my new lens isn't blurry, and the old one has not slid down or come out.
I just feel like something is behind my eye.
My eye keeps watering, but it doesn't burn or sting.
Maybe it will just slide out as the day goes on.
Hrmph.

No, contacts can't go behind your eye--they fit into a little "pocket" your eye has created with muscle. It probably just fell out somewhere when you rubbed your eyes--OR it's all bunched up at the top or bottom of that "pouch" and causing pressure on your eye-hence you feeling it behind your eye. chances are though it just fell out.

Ditto to what Sara said.
I've had it happen before, and it did finally just slide up to where I could see it again and I got it out.
