Can't put my contact lenses in early in the morning!?!


Question: Can't put my contact lenses in early in the morning!?
I have been wearing contact lenses for many years now and have had this problem quite often. When I wake up early and have to be out of the house early in the morning I can never get both my contact lenses to go in without any hassle. This happened this morning and when I first attempted to put them in I was in lots of pain and my eyes went really sore. Sometimes it can take me about 5 or more attempts at putting them in and this leads to me getting very angry and stresses and usually a very red eye. The redness does go away eventually although it stays red in the morning. I find that if I put them in later on in the morning, like on the weekend, that I don't have any trouble and they go in straight away although sometimes the picky irritable feeling can sometimes happen again.

I don't know what is causing this because I did mention it once to my optician and they said I might need to have one day a week when I don't wear them to give my eyes a rest. I do this and I rarely wear them in the evening. I clean them daily and store them correctly and always make sure my hands are clean before putting them in. So I don't know why they are always such a problem. They are soft, monthly lenses and I have tried different types and these are the best for my eyes so I don't think this is the problem either.

Answers:

When you wake up, most peoples eyes are dryer than normal as you havent been blinking.

try getting a clean face cloth with hot water and rub your eyes gently with it for a couple of minutes. Will help stimulate the tears and hopefully help you put in your contact lenses. If not then buy some artifical tears from any chemist and that will also help.
