Putting in contacts?!


Question: I've tried for at least 4 hours (sad I know) on putting in my contacts and I can only get them in 2 times (one of those times the doctor put them in for me).

What can I do to make my eye not blink because I try not looking straight into the mirror when trying to put them because that tends to make me blink, but the problem is the curvature is wrong and then my contact can't really fit.

Any tips? I want to wear contacts so badly, but my blinking eye tends to think otherwise.

Use one hand to hold your top eyelid open. Use the middle finger of the hand that has the lens to hold your bottom lid open. Hold them WIDE open. RELAX. The lens should be on the tip of your index finger. Put in on your eye. Look down with your eyes. Carefully release the bottom lid and then the top. Rotate your eye around with you lids closed and tap lightly on your lid. Don't rub.

That's what worked for me and I was the same way you were. After a couple of weeks it will be very easy.

Use one hand to keep you eye by opening your eye really wide and the other to put it in. It takes pratice and make sure the lense in moist. Hope it helps

That's funny. I have been wearing contacts for 22 years. It just takes practice. Try once or twice and then let your eyes rest. You just need to get used to your finger coming toward your eye. You will get it. Try looking up or down till you get the contact to your eye, then hold it there, look into it, then move your finger. Maybe that will work. Just keep trying.

Good luck!
