How long did it take you before you could easily but your contacts in?!


Question: How long did it take you before you could easily but your contacts in?
I got contacts yesterday, and today was my first time putting them in other then yesterday with help from the doctor. It took me about 15 minutes to get them both in today, I could not stop blinking. My doctor says I should be able to get it down within a week, but I have a feeling it will take me a lot longer then that. How long did it take you / how long does it usually take people before then can easily put in their contacts on a regular basis? Just wondering. Thank you!

Answers:

I remember it taking about a week or two before putting in contacts was no big deal. There was one time that I couldn't get them in before school and I was getting so mad and frustrated, I was nearly an hour late! If you ever get to that point, just put them in their case and walk away for 10 minutes. But you will get the hang of it soon enough.

it will initially take you sometime but after a certain amount of time you will be able to put contact lenses into your eyes in literally in under a minute. i guess you just need to practise and it also due to the fact that your eyes and most peoples eyes are very sensitive and so its more than likely you have a strong blink reflex. one of the things you can do is with clean hands just touch different peripheral aspects of your eyes this de-sensitises your eyes and your blink reflex. this helps me with my patients

it's all about practice, you'll get it, it doesn't take long. I've been wearing contacts since I was 14, and now i'm 29. Anyone can touch my eyeball now and I wont even flinch! I can put my contacts in without a mirror even.



Maybe about a week. I've had mine for 2 years now and I've never had any bother with them! I remember the first time I put them in and I couldn't get them out, it was so stressful lmao.
