FFS I got the right side in, but that shit took me like 20 minutes, trying to get my left on but I keep blinking and closing my eyes. Now my vision is half blurry, half clear. This is my first time putting on lenses. Any tips? These shits keep sticking to my fingertips and not going on my eye.   | ||

Also if they keep sticking to your fingers you might not be hitting your eyeball dead-on, try to push hard enough as well, and all this while not blinking or it'll fall on the floor. Best way is probably using a mirror on a table and looking into your eye while putting them in at first. | ||

If you have that much trouble getting them in, you'll have that much trouble getting them out when you need to go to sleep, and then you'll wanna kill yourself.

I actually don't have any trouble getting them out, it's just getting them in is the problem. just using the washroom mirror | ||

Make it wet with solution and then put it in your eye. | ||

put the lens on your index finger, with that same hand pull the lower eyelid down with your middle finger while pulling your upper one up with the thumb of your other hand | ||

Once you suppress the blink reflex, it's super easy like putting on glasses or a condom. putting on a condom is hard, man. especially getting a little excitd and rolling it on the wrong way. major mood killer | ||

Gave me a good reason for being late for work though haha It's gotten to the point where i can put them on in the dark I don't even give it a second thought But i mean, i've been using them for years. I look a whole lot better with them on than with glasses thats for sure, so its worth the effort | ||

I personally wear night&day contacts that I leave in for 3-5 weeks and only take them out to clean them if they are getting dirty, which cuts down on time I have to invest to wear contacts. | ||

One time I did that with one of those numbing condoms that make you last longer and my wifes 'area' was numb for a day or two until our native american gardener gave her advice to get some roots and do something with it and that made it better. Oh wait no that was Larry David. | ||

While you're learning, scrub down your hands completely and do not touch anything other than contacts until you are done. If you don't, and you handle them too much, it'll sting your eye which will make it that much harder. Also make sure your contact is not inside out, yes there is a right and wrong way out. Once you are over that initial hump, it is no big deal. Certainly beats glasses, that's for sure. | ||

2) wet finger with solution 3) shake off excess from both 4) balance contact on the pad of your finger ( i find using the very tip of my finger more difficult) 5) make sure contact is in proper position. Soft lenses can flip "inside-out" and then will irritate/bug/hurt the hell out of your eye if they are not the right way. Edges of the lens should appear to curve inward or not at all; if they flare out, flip the lens inside out and look at it again. Toric lenses (if you have them, if not disregard) are asymmetrical, so putting them in your eye the wrong way will reduce vision clarity until gravity eventually pulls it into proper position in your eye. 6) raise contact to eye and look up (not with your head/neck, your eyes). Place contact on your eye just below your pupil and lightly press. Wait to feel adhesion as it sucks onto your eyeball. 7) look down (sometimes side to side helps) and shift your eyes around BEFORE blinking, to seat and position the contact. 8) now blink to clear debris and clear vision. Hooray you made it! | ||

1. Pull eylids, place on finger ect. 2. Put contact on eye 3. Move your finger around, while maintaing contact to get out air bubbles 4. Look at your finger, puts your lens over your iris 5. Blink slowly 6. Tada, -if it hurts/ doesn't stay on it is inside out, take out flip and repeat | ||

Your eyesight is too precious to risk. It takes 5 seconds to pop them in and out per day. | ||
