Yup, we have all had this at one time or another. My lenses only pop out if I blink hard and am looking to the extreme outside edge of my field of vision, so looking right and my rigth lens may pop out.

Because I know under what situation this happens, I am now in the habit of turning my head more.

Hi Elizabeth

Yes in the early days when they were trying smaller hard lenses if i moved my eye rather than my head and blinked it sometimes popped out, i cant focus with the 1 lens (it made me feel sick) so i could never see it so id panic freeze on the sport terrified incase i stood on it and id just shout for help and let them find it (funny after the event :lol: )

Im sure thats happened to most of us at some point.

luv

hi
the funniest incident i ever recall( though not funny at the time) was when my left lens popped out in the middle of a packed out post office on pension day :shock: , i shouted out in the middle of the queue for no one to move , i've lost my lens on the floor and i cant see, :lol: it was so funny to see all the pensioners drop to their knees and help scrabble around on the ground for the wayward lens, :lol: incredibly we found the little blighter :shock: :lol:
