Can you wear contacts lenses ,if you don't like to stick your finger in your eye!


Question:

Can you wear contacts lenses ,if you don't like to stick your finger in your eye?

I have leary about touching my eye ,could I still wear contacts?


Answers:

If you want to wear contacts desperately enough, you will learn to place them on your cornea. Some doctors will give you drops the first week to deaden the cornea (which has little feeling anyway) so that you don't feel yourself putting the lens in and can get used to the sensation of approaching your eyeball with a foreign object.

When I was dispensing contacts, it seemed like females got accustomed to their lenses a lot easier than males. I theorized it was because they are already accustomed to putting mascara and stuff on their eyeLIDS so placing a lens on the cornea wasn't as foreign to them

I am phobic about needles, myself, but as a diabetic, I have had to learn to check my glucose so I would reiterate that it will depend on how badly you want to wear contacts. If you want it bad enough, you'll overcome your aversion. If you don't, you won't.
