Answers:
That optician you had must have been having one seriously bad hair day! Any optician knows that it takes time and practice and I'm sorry he/she was so deliberately impatient with you! But to answer your question:
It does takes practice and some degree of patience on your part, but you'll get the hang of it!! It's quite simple actually. All you do is put the lense on the tip of your finger, open you upper and lower lid with the opposite hand, LOOK STRAIT AHEAD, not at the contact (thats where people have difficulty because they want to look at the contact, up or down, or off to the side) and gently place the lense on your pupil. Let the lense come to your eye, not your eye to the lense! The moisture from your eye, and that from the solution on the lense will hold the lense in place. Close your eye for a second and voila!! the lense is in and you cant even tell it's there!
I sure hope this helps!
Remember - LOOK STRAIT AHEAD - NOT AT THE LENSE!
Good luck!
