      I have been a daily user of contact lenses for about 2 months. and yesterday I had some problems knowing if my contact lenses were still in. I am pretty good at seeing whether they are still there, but still i am not sure. It looks like my eyes have a natural blue tint around my iris, so I am a little bit confused.

      I tried to apply some rewetting drops and also massage my eyelid to see if the lenses would dislodge. I tried to also examine my eyes thoroughly in the mirror to check if it was there. Someone also told me that you can use your glasses to know if they are still on your eyes, but I could see fine with my glasses.

      Have anyone of you guys experienced anything similar? Do you have some good tricks? I will be thankful for all the replies.

        @biston lens should be taken out at night. When you leave them in that long you increase your chance for infection. Also, the front surface of your eye starts to distort due to lack of oxygen. However, if you are unable to tell by looking in the mirror if your lens is out, I would recommend having your eye doctor take a look. They will easily be able to tell with the slit lamp. If you can’t tell I would not dig and dig trying to remove it. Best of Luck
