Here's a little trick I just discovered and used. Just pull the outer corner of your eye out and up while blinking rapidly. This should cause the lens to fold so you can grab it out of your eye.
I'm posting this because never since the first day I got contacts a few years ago did I actually get one stuck to my eye. It was just sitting there right where it should be, but I could not get it to move at all. I tried moisturizing it, lying down with my eyes closed for 20 mins, gently massaging it with my eye closed. Nothing worked, and now my eye is really red and irritated. But then I tried the above trick and had it out instantly. I mean this thing was like it was glued on, terrible.
So there you go, I wish I knew this earlier today! And I still have no idea why it happened, it was fresh out of the package and I never have problems removing lenses. Soft lens, "extreme H2O."
