According to experts, instill a few drops of saline or eye drops into your eyes. Blink until the contact lens feels normal, which may take a few minutes. Alternatively, close your eyes, place a finger on your eyelid, and check for movement. Once the lens is no longer stuck, it's safe to remove. If you encounter redness, irritation, light sensitivity, tearing, or blurred vision lasting more than a day or causing concern, promptly contact your eye care professional as it may indicate an infection.
