This post made me nervous, I think a follow-up is needed. Were you able to pull over and find your contacts? Could you put them back in, or were they too dirty? Also, something that works for me is to pinch my nose when I feel a sneeze coming up, it will stop it from happening.

Can the science side of FML please explain this?

Aaah, luckily you're not blind enough without them else this will turn out differently. Ah-chooo!

How is that possible? That's pretty cool tbh

How? Your eyes close when you sneeze. I've been in the optical industry for over 25 years & have never heard of this. Even with hard lenses. hmmm

If your contacts come out that easily, you should see an optometrist about getting a different fit. Perhaps something different than a soft lens.

I've had that happen to me too, twice. The first time I was pulling out of a parking lot and turning left through a green light when I sneezed, blinked and one contact folded and the other fell out. As I'm almost legally blind without them I couldn't see my stick-shift, let alone out my windshield. Fortunately it was late enough at night that I swung wide, ate some curbs and drove straight for a grocery parking lot I remembered being there. I was able to get one eye back in and kept going. The second time though I was going over fifty miles an hour, but it was also at night and somewhere that wasn't hard to navigate so I stayed in the middle of both lanes and pulled off at the first opportunity. It's extremely terrifying OP, so FYL indeed.

How in the flippity floppity hell is this even possible...???

I didn't even know that was possible!

YDI for calling it a motorway.
