I tried contacts for the first time the other day. The optition was great I had real trouble getting them in but she gave me helpfull little hints (like trying to aim higher as I was going too low). I only managed to get the lense in the left eye and I couldn't get it out. After about 40 minutes of trying she told me to make another appointment as otherwise I would really irritate my eyes.

She also told me to practice touching my eye and I have noticed that I have been getting better. Also the advice I found here about making sure that you hold your eyelashes out of the way seems to have made a big difference as well.

I am now confident that I will be able to get the lenses in both eyes but I just hope that I can get them out again (that seemed to be a bit harder.)
