Contacts help!?!
Question: Okay so i have a contact lens appointment on saturday. I'm ready for those contacts lens. but haha anyways, i would like to know, what do they do at the appointments? like when you step in there till you leave.
Also, do contacts hurt, because my friend says they get so irritating and i'm not ready for all that stuff. i'm not sure if i want colored ones. but just in case, i get intrested all of a sudden what color would look good on a tan skinned, dark eyed filipina . and another thing,is which contact lens brand is the best?

i'm really intrested (:

i work at an optometrist office. its deff at every office but they basically pre-screen you doing a couple of preliminary tests. Then the doctor does the exam on you and decides which lens will be best for you.(this part takes about 20 mins total) Someone at the office will teach you how to insert and remove the contact lens from your eye. (this takes a long time depending on how well you handle the contact and if you can touch your eye). After you get them in and take them out...you may try on colors as well. i dont like color lenses but if i had to recommend a color i would say av2 warm honey, hazel or jade green. Jade green is my fave.
contacts don't hurt. just don't abuse them. dont sleep shower or swim with them. and don't wear them longer than the prescribed time (example if its a 2 week lens wear them for two weeks taking them in and out every night and chuck em when two weeks are up and put a new lens in.)
you just have to make sure you are allowed to wear colors bc everyone's prescription is different so whatever the doc tells you...he's most likely correct.
i love cl's. i love my glasses more but i wear av moist 1-days. they are the best for whenever i wanna pop in a lens for a day.
if you want to practice before you go...i suggest you practice touching your eye with your finger but MAKE SURE YOUR HANDS ARE CLEAN!!!!
also...when you go don't wear make-up bc then it will get irritated.
also remember...put the contacts in first...then put the makeup on...take the cls out...then take your make-up off...
ok hope it helps
good luck!! =)
