ok so i've been 2 lenscrafter more than once and l still cant get the contacts in. l can hold my eye open, but once my finger comes near with the contact, l blink. like, even if my finger begins 2 move my eye closes! l cant have the ppl there hold my eye open or put it in b/c l instantly try blinking the moment their finger touches my eyelid!!!! i've practiced holding my eye open, but l still cant bring my other finger near my eye to get the contact in.
they havent given the contacts to me outside of the store. they just told me to keep practicing touching my finger to my eye and l cant even do that! and i'v been to the store like 3 times now and tried with the contacts there

it took me five times to get them in. l know it takes forever!!! but, it really does get easier. u should put a single drop of water on ur finger, & then try to put in ur eye as u would a contact. or, it it is the natural instinct to blink, u should look up into the corner of ur eye (towards ur nose) & then put the drop of water, or even the contact in. It makes it so u cannot see the object come so close u ur eye. with a contact, it will slide to the right spot in ur eye when u blink. good luck!!

Relax ur eye. The first time l wore contact lenses it took me forever because l blinked all the time. Just know that u have to clean the lense after a couple tries since it gets dirty & that will irritate ur eye. use one like this to clean it: http://bausch.com/en_US/consumer/visioncare/product/softcare/renumpsolution.aspx

1) wash ur hands
2) put contact lense should go on the tip of ur finger
3) put ur head back
4) use the unused hand to open eye right before putting contact in (dont keep it open for long, that will irritate eye & make ur eye cry)
5) & then just put contact lense in. then u can blink. dont blink when putting on, blink after. It should not come off.

Practice until u get it in but not too many times. You may do too much irritation, until u learn keep on wearing glasses.
l hope l helped.

Surprised they let you leave with contacts...usually if you cannot put them in your eye s by yourself..they will not selll them to you.
Just takes practice sweetie..keep trying..you will get it..HUGS!!
Try putting it in the corner of your eye, near your nose..then you do not freak out your eye ball..then close eye and slide into place.

l first got contacts in 6th grade.. it used to take me half an hour to get them in every morning, so l stopped using them. but when 8th grade came around l tried it again. its just a lot of practice!! this is my method:

lets say its my right eye.

my left hand goes over my head & holds open the upper eyelid

the contact goes on my right hand is pointer finger, & my middle finger holds open the bottom eyelid

slowly place the contact on ur eye & then look around & then blink

the more ur eye gets used to being touched the easier it will be..
maybe try putting in eye drops to get used to holding ur eye open & putting stuff in it

Well you are certainly going to have to get over the eye thing. You really do need to be able to touch your eye in order to use contacts. My advice, which actually works, is when you actually have touched your contact to the eye, let go of your bottom eyelid first. Every time l tried to put my contact in when l first got them, it would fall out or stay on my finger. Once l started letting go of the bottom eyelid first, they went it perfectly easily.
