Contact lenses - I am having trouble?!

Contact lenses - I am having trouble?

I am 22 years old and have an issue with my right eye. The only option is a contact for just that eye. I went to the eye doctor and they successfully put it in for me and took it out. They put in another one and it was my job to get it out-- I CANT DO IT. I know how... pinching it out or sliding it down and then pulling... but I am psyching myself out. I got my husband to get it out, thinking I could put it in, then get it out. I can't even get it in. I guess it's the pressure of the eye doctor and everyone looking at you. But you can't take them home until you prove that you can get it in once and out once..I guess it's a liability issue. Anyway, I've seen everyone demonstrate HOW... but I guess I need advice on getting near my eye. The problem isn't HOW I hold my eye... I just seem to be really, really nervous. Like my hand wants to pull away when I try! Do you have any advice? I feel soooo silly. I want clear vision so bad!

I went through the same thing! I know...its so weird because you want to so badly, but it also feels like physically impossible with everyone watching and I felt like I was going to poke my eye out. Ofcourse the whole thought of touching my eye alone was a prob too because the thought just grosses me out! Anyways...after a year of doing my contacts I can finally touch my eye now. To put them in I look up, put it in right when I go to look down, move my eye in the motion they told me to, and then its in! Woo-la!
I wish you all the luck in the world! Goo Luck! :)
