| This page is just what I needed! Tonight I went to the eye doctor to get my contacts and thought it was going to be a breeze. Little did I know I would spend half an hour just trying to put them in and because they were closing I have to go back tomorrow. It was very frustrating but I'm taking note of some of the techniques others have shared. I'm nervous about going back again...I wasn't nervous at all today because I thought it would go pretty smoothly. I don't have a problem with touching my eyes but as they told me my eyes don't open very wide and I have long eyelashes so that combo doesn't make it easy to put contacts in. I tried my best to open my eye with my other hand and used every position imaginable and I would get so close but everytime the contact remained on my index finger. The assistants were patient and helpful and one even demonstrated with her contacts but no matter what I couldn't do it. I'm hopeful that tomorrow is better and that they go right in. So far I've only tried to get one in my right eye without success. Left can't be any better haha. But I'm sure going to try to make this work. Glasses seem to get in the way too much for me and being able to wear contacts would make things a lot easier. |
