After 8 years of wearing glasses, I decided to make the switch to Contacts yesterday, problem is that I'm having one hell of a time trying to get them in! It takes me so long! I don't have any problems touching my eyes, but it just seems like they don't want to stay in. I mean we're talking 15-30 minutes to get ONE in. I love them, but did any of you who wear contacts have this much trouble in the beginning?

I, personally didn't have any problems when I first had contacts. Sadly, I had to wear hard lenses for almost half a year, until my eyes started to become irritated. They were perscribed to me because my eyesight was rapidly decreasing, and hard lenses are created to keep the concaved shape of your eyeball.
Anyway, it'll take time for your eye to get used to wear contacts. I've been wearing contacts for about six years now, and now it's just an everyday occurance for me. Just take some time out of the day to practice putting your contacts on, and taking them off. Make sure to wear them for little hours, so your eyes can get used to them. Your doctor should've been there (or at least an assistant) to assist you with your contacts, and should've shown you techniques to remove/put in your lenses. If they didn't, I'd recommend calling them and asking them if they would be able to do that for you. It's easier watching someone do it/help you, then reading about how to do it. |
