I just want to say that I am not really sure where this topic would belong.

I went to the Lenscrafters near my university to take my comprehensive vision test and the optometrist put the contacts in my eye for me. I didn't even notice that he took the contacts out and put it in my right eye, until I was like But I didn't want to say no because it's not like it bothered me or anything. I just thought it was weird because no one has ever done that to me before.


Would you let your optometrist put contacts in your eye? And if you don't wear contacts, would you let your dentist brush your teeth for you?

Lol the only time my doctor put my contacts in for me was the first time I tried them. It was horrifying! xD

My dentist has also brushed my teeth for me, but I was just a kid so...yeah.

Haha, when I had contacts, the doctor never tried to put them in. When I first learned how, I could get one in my right eye and I always struggled with the left. But the person just sat there and watched me, ha.

The first time I got my contacts, he put it on me. I don't know how he did it but it was so cool cause I had no idea. So I guess I'll have to say yes! It's a lot easier for me since I don't have to use my hands.

:O Woah the first time I got contacts, I had to put them in myself and man it must've taken me 10 minutes to put the first one in! The second time, I put it in myself.

However, I've been wearing contacts since freshman year of high school (5-ish years ago?) and I have never had anyone put contacts in for me, until my recent visit to Lenscrafters. lol but it was kind of cool because when he put it in, he opened my eyes wider than I ever did, and he put it in so easily.

nah, the first time the lady just watched me and I was struggling for like 10-15 minutes.
fail fail fail.

My optometrist always takes my contacts out for me and puts them back in when I have to get my eyes checked out.
I actually thought all optometrists did it like that? Lol. weird.

Whenever i get an eyecheck up my optomitrist always puts my contacts in my eyes after.
Its always kind of weird because it feels more uncomfortable when someone else does it.

"He put my contacts in for me, o__O"

Omg, I know how you feel. The first time I got them, it took me a whole 30 minutes to put them on. I left my poor mother waiting for us to leave, haha. Every time I would raise them to my eye, my eye like automatically closed.

Sure, it'd make me horny.

This. For some reason.

what else did he put in you.

Well I've been wearing contacts since I was 15 and I've never had anyone put it in for me. I never knew anyone else who had their optometrist put in their contacts for them either. When optometrists move my eyelids up/down so that they can see into my eyes more clearly when examining for anything abnormal, I'm fine with that. but man I was not prepared for when he put the contact in my eye lol.

All I can think of is...

I WANNA MAKE LOVE IN THIS CLUB!

In second grade my mom had to drive me from SF area to FREMONT everyday so that my optometrist could put in my contacts for me...because I couldn't do it myself :(

lul wut? You wore contacts when you were in second grade? !

*looks at Betty's signature*

WTF YOU'RE IN SAN DIEGO?! WHAT?

No I wouldn't let him put my contacts in.

I'm capable of putting my contacts and other things on me.

No, I wouldn't let anyone else touch my contacts period. Too much of a germophobe.

The first time I got my contacts, my doctor gave me some worksheet on how to put them on & then made me put them on the first time at the office. It took me like...20 mins to get them on.

LOL That's so awkward! I don't even let people watch me put on makeup usually, so it's weird for him to be sitting there watching me put in contacts.

And Betty, that's SO cute. xD

I don't think I'd mind if he just randomly put them in but if he asked I'd probably just be like "Uh, I'll do it myself.."

true optometrist love

lol, i'm going to get contacts in the near future so should i expect my optometrist to put my contacts in for me?

but when i do get them, i wouldn't let my optometrist touch my eye. who knows what he/she touched before that

and plus, i want to learn how to put my own contacts in. how would you learn if you let your optometrist do it for you, right ?

^True, and it really does take a while before it really becomes second nature putting them in. At first it's a huge pain every day, but then again I was pretty young when I first started wearing them. >.<

he put mine in for me once, even though i had been wearing them for years. i was trying a new brand (for more moisture), and he just did it. it was cool/nice. =D

[edit]
most of the time, if it's your first time wearing them (or you've taken a long break), they'll make you do it yourself.
