Since soft contacts are made of polymer that absorbs water it is only natural that if you leave your contacts to dry (e.g. prolonged use w/o lubrication) it will stick to wherever or whatever will give it moisture in order to remain soft and flexible w/c can be unfortunate if it is your eyeball.
This can sometimes happen when you forget to keep the contact lenses moist. What happens is your eye is already moistened - when you place something dry (such as non-moistened contact lenses) into the eye, it can form a "dry-seal" which makes it harder to remove.
A more relative experience to this can be - X-mas decorations. When you get window clings you must lick one side to make them stick to the dry surface (window). Removing them is the same as removing a "dry-sealed" contact lense.
Lastly to correct this problem is simple. If your contacts are one time use - throw them away. If they are multiple use then place them back into your small contact case and moisten them using the saline solution your Opthamologist prescribed.
