contacts sticks into my eye!

anyone can help me with my scary problem...i am using contacts from time to time and it looks great, it feels just perfectly fine..the only reason i dont use it that often is becoz im always having difficulty taking them out..the contacts seems to "stick" into my eyeball...it wont move or sumthing, i can't pinch it, can't slighlytly move it in the "white area" of my eye so i can easily pop it. ive heard that it might needs some rewetting which i do everytime before taking it out (and like every hour) but it doesn't help...the contacts seems to fit my eye too perfectly that it wont move..last night was a scary one, i thought id never take it out..i tried so hard but it just won't stick out, im scared if i pinch too hard i might damage my eye, and i get the feeling like if i just pull it unmindingly the surface layer of my eye will come off with it. ..eeekkk! what i did was use my nail very carefully and lift the corner edge of the lense, and rewet it..thats the time i was able to move it and take it off..my frends are wearing contacts but they said they've never encountered such problems like mine...and most difficulties i heard are taking them in not out..whats going on?!

answers will be very appreciated...thnx!!

From my non-expert opinion, it sounds like either the contacts are too tight, or you have very dry eyes. I strongly suggest that you make an appointment with your optometrist to have your eyes and lenses evaluated for fit etc. Have you tried using wetting drops throughout the day?

yes i have used dropper (comes along w/ the lense i bought) like every hour all through out the day when im wearing it. anyway, i will consult my optometrist coz the HR from my new company is requiring me to have my eyes checked up coz its no longer in normal 20/20 level. thanx for the reply =)
