Ever since l was a kid, I've had poor eyesight, recently l went to specsavers to enquire about contacts, l am suited for them, and passed all the tests, but apparently my eyes are shaped like a rugby ball (not really sure what that mens.) Skip forward today, l went for a 'teach'... l could not get the dam thing in for the life of me, as soon as anything comes near my eye, l flinch... I've always been scared of anything coming into contact with my eyes. So, how should l go about putting contacts in? The recommended method just work it all, l just closed my eyes straight away/

l hold my eye open with one hand, look left, put the lense on the right side, look right, let the lense go, look around then blink..

putting a contact lense in is so much easier than it really sounds! what l do- l pull the bottom of my eye down & just look straight into a mirror, & with ur other finger of the hand that the contact is in- u just put it on ur eye. its really easy.
another good technique is pulling both sides of the eye- up & down. u can look down or up or to any side. it will be a breeze once you've got it right! l was always scared to put ANYTHING in my eye- l couldnt even touch it with a finger! but contacts r SO much easier than they look!

hope this helped! :)

well what l did is someone at the eye doctors put them in for me & trust me l backed my head away but she did something l wouldnt have been able to do if it was me doing it she kept going so ask someone u no to put ur lenses in l know it sounds a little childish but it should work.now for my daily use of putting them in & taking them out l use my pointer finger & use the same hand(if im putting my left contact in l use my left hand & vice versa)i put my other hand over my hand andhold my top eye lid open l look up (so l cant see it coming) & bring the contact in from the side.hope this helps if not call ur eye doctor they might be able to tell u over the phone or might tell u to come in!:)
