They'll do the things you normally get done during a routine eye exam, but they'll do a few extra things to measure the eye.

1. Taking them out, until you get the hang of it. Then they're equally easy.
2. They MIGHT give you a trial pair to try out for a few hours, but they'll probably have to order your actual contacts from their supplier.
3. No, as long as there's nothing on the lens and they're the correct size for your eye, you shouldn't feel them. However, the longer you wear them a day, the more they might start to bother you. That's why it's always a good idea to give your eyes a break and wear your glasses sometimes.
4. People can generally see better with their contacts because the contact lens sits directly on the eye, while there is a space between the lens and eye with glasses. But contacts aren't for everyone. Some people's eyes just can't tolerate contacts. For me, contacts are best, but I always keep a pair of glasses up to date with my prescription. You never know when you might get an eye infection or your eyes might just be too tired for the contacts.



They pretty much just fit a contact into your eye and give you a little lesson on how to use contacts(asuming you already have the perscription).

1. For me, it was easier putting it in, but they're both actually really easy to do

2. yup yup, they will probably send you out wearing contacts

3. nooooooo.. its going to feel really strange at first but it doesnt hurt. It made my eyes water but i wasnt actually in any pain haa

4. contacts r really good, but you should probably get a backup pair of glasses for like late at night

HOPE THIS HELPS :D
