Narrative:

While climbing from FL180 to FL270 my supply tube came off my oxygen mask. At FL200 I began to notice I did not feel well and I turned up the oxygen. At FL230 I still did not feel well, informed ATC, and requested lower. I then began the descent but then required assistance from the pilot in the back seat (tandem seating). At 17500 ft, I was able to resume full control coordination and fly. However, I also lost a contact lens out of my left eye. I was unable to retrieve it from the floor. It was also at that time I checked the supply tube and reconnected it. I immediately felt better. To correct the situation, I intend to add a 'check oxygen mask connections' to my post takeoff checklist. I also intend to put an extra pair of glasses in the cockpit of the aircraft.
