3.6.3 Can I lose the lens behind my eye ?

Short answer is no. The conjunctiva, the tissue that covers the white part
of the eye (the sclera) forms a cul-de-sac between from the edge of the cornea
to the eyelid margin. Sometimes a contact lens, especially a soft
contact lens may roll up and become difficult to find. An eyecare practitioner
will be able to locate the lens and remove it.
