Injury to a Child's Eye

Administering first aid to a child that has an eye injury can be difficult depending on your child's age, size and level of cooperation. Getting assistance from another adult to help handle the child is recommended. Talk to the child in a soothing voice and stay calm. To help the child remain calm, use slow gentle movements. A child that is struggling may need to be strongly held down so the first aid can be applied and the level of seriousness of the eye damage can be determined.

You mean a contact? Well call your eye doctor and try to get it out. If you can't get it out and your doctor says that it's okay, just leave it in and it will come out sooner or later. This happened to me (I'm horribly nearsighted) and it came out a few hours or so later.
