Can a Lens go behind the eye?

This can NOT happen as the fine, thin membrane that covers the white part of the eye is attached inside of the eyelids is as well attached to the side walls of the eye.

A contact lens can slip up and under the upper lid and is may pretty hard to locate, also a soft lens can roll up and may be hard to find. In this case flush your eye with water or saline, the lens should float out. In rare instances,a RGP lens may adhere by suction to the conjunctiva. First apply some wetting solution to the lens and wait about a short while. Try to move the lens by gently pressing on one edge. If this simple solutions do not work,consult your eye doctor.
