Seriously need help!
 
How can i retrieve my contact lenses?
They got stuck in my bathroom radiator im 99% positive,
Ive tried flushing the radiator with water. They are RGP so they costed nearly 400 euro, so I need them back

GypsyGoth 10-01-2012 09:48 PM

how did the lens get into the radiator?

Niall 10-01-2012 09:49 PM

What a strange thread

Vicky. 10-01-2012 09:50 PM

How on earth did they get in the radiator :conf:

Doogle 10-01-2012 09:50 PM

I'll tell you but it'll cost you 400 euros.

Firewire 10-01-2012 09:51 PM

:laugh3:

Benjamin 10-01-2012 09:52 PM

Are they actually inside the radiator? :conf2:

sexyb4ck 10-01-2012 09:53 PM

Get a sledge hammer

Sam:) 10-01-2012 09:53 PM

No I think there stuck on the grill-ish thing in it:( Im actually having a panic attack

Niall 10-01-2012 09:54 PM

I'm still trying to imagine how this happened

Were you trying to flick it into your eye, only to make it fly across the room and into the radiator or something?

GypsyGoth 10-01-2012 09:56 PM

I think I understand. Maybe you could get a stick to poke it out or something?

Sam:) 10-01-2012 09:56 PM

No, my bathroom has a radiator beside the sink, above the radiator/sink is a mirror and they got stuck there

Oh. I'm not sure your gonna get it outta there really. It'll be waaaaay too tiny to see..

GypsyGoth 10-01-2012 09:58 PM

Get your mom or dad to sort it out.

Smithy 10-01-2012 09:58 PM

should just have the one dayers, much cheaper

Sam:) 10-01-2012 10:01 PM

My eye is too bad for one day ones, these are supposed to last 3 years

Bollo 10-01-2012 10:06 PM

Tongs or tweezers to get them out? Failing that do you have Home Contents Insurance? Some policies cover loss or damage to items like Contact Lenses / Glasses

Redway 10-01-2012 10:32 PM

How did they get stuck inside the radiator? :conf:

Ninastar 10-01-2012 10:36 PM

i've been wearing mine for about 5 years and it's safe to say if its gone down the radiator there is no hope

mine fell behind a radiator once

also, are you 100% sure its in the radiator? look all over the bathroom floor and on the sink.
check your clothes too

Josy 10-01-2012 10:36 PM

I don't see how any one on a forum can possibly help :shrug:

Smithy 10-01-2012 10:37 PM

That one made me laugh hard. Good one.

Benjamin 10-01-2012 11:34 PM

Oh, I see what you mean. They are behind the radiator. How about using a hair dryer on full power to blow them out?

GypsyGoth 12-01-2012 07:50 PM

What happened? Did you find them?

Shasown 12-01-2012 08:02 PM

Turn off your heating, close the valves on the pipes feeding and from the radiator, make sure you remember how many turns etc you use to close them, saves rebalancing all the radiators later.

Disconnect the pipes, drain the radiator, then remove from wall.

Find contact lenses then replace and reconnect the radiator in the reverse order as you removed it.

Turn heating on.

POP

Or get a plumber or someone else who knows how to do it for you.
