Help with Contacts?!


Question: I just recently got contacts (been wearing glasses 2 yrs now) and i find getting them out easy enough but getting them in is a whole nother story. i keep blinking like crazy and therefore can never get them in. can anyone give me some simple ways of doing it? do you look ahead or at the contact as if comes toward your eye? do you close the eye that the contact isn`t going in? how do you hold the eye open (which fingers)? your help is greatly appreciated!

I got contacts not to long ago it gets easier but it does take a while to get used to putting them in. I'll try to explain how I do it I apologize if its a little confusing. I am right handed so I put the contact on my right pointer finger and pull down on my lower lid with my middle and ring finger of my right hand. I used my left hand to pull up on my upper lid. I usually look up as I put the contact in and as I feel it touch my eye I roll my eye back to a normal position and pull my finger away. I usually blink several time after this to get my eye wet again. Sometimes the contact falls right out or is still on my finger and I just try again. But it doesn't happen that often anymore. I leave the other eye open so I can see what I am doing.
