Please help! how to get contact lenses in?!


Question: Please help! how to get contact lenses in!?
today at my eye doctor appointment i was scheduled to get fitted for contacts!. when they asked me to get my contacts in i really just couldn't! we literally tried for an hour but we couldn't get it in, not in either eye! eventually we had to give up because my eyes were getting irritated so we have another appointment next week to try Again- any tips!?

by the way- my eyes are really big, which should help but i have extreamly long eyelashes (i dont wear mascara) we when i put them in i have to hold them but i think thats the problem!. my eyes are overly sensitive and blink sooooo much!!!!!

also i can touch my eye easily but putting the Lenses in is really difficultWww@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
try touching the white part of your eye!. not the center but the white part for at least 10 to 15 seconds without blinking!. if you practice doing that then when you try with the contacts it may be easier!. also, try holding your eye lashes tight so no matter how much you want to blink you don't!.

It's tough for almost everyone when you first get contacts!.
It took me like 10 minutes when I first got them, but now (5 years later) it only takes about 10 seconds!.

It just takes time to get used to, don't get discouraged!Www@Answer-Health@Com

i had the same problem when i 1st started wearing contacts!. had 2 have 2 apts b4 i got it 2!. then my friend actually had 2 stay w/ me 4 lik a wk putting them n 4 me evry morning n taking them out at night! so glad i didnt give up tho!. as far as tips go im not sure just try telling urself not 2 blink, be calm n know its gonna hurt more stuggling (u cant feel them at all in) i hold my eye open w/ one hand n using my middle finger on the other side it out to the side n itll scruch up (my eye dr said 2 try pinching it but i couldnt) n putting them in i look away, stick it on n blink it n place (not 2 fast tho or itll pop back out) sry this got way 2 long!! good luck thoWww@Answer-Health@Com

1!. Make sure your hands are clean and dry before you start!.
2!. Pick up a contact on one of the fingers on the hand on the same side of your body as the eye you're going to put it in!.
3!. Put the contact on a finger on the opposite hand (this makes sure the contact isn't too wet before it goes it, it's difficult if so! Make sure it's on the tip of your finger and right-side up!
4!. Use your free hand to keep your eye open!.
5!. Lightly press it to your eye until it's securely there!.
6!. Blink to ensure it stays!.
7!. Repeat with other contact!.

**If your eyes are tired or your contacts are too dry, it will be very difficult to apply them!
**Practice makes perfect!

Good luck!Www@Answer-Health@Com
