I am 14y/o and I just got my contact lens last saturday. The eye doctor (i forgot how they were called. XD) took 40 minutes to put the contact lenses in my eyes b'cos of the blink reflex. I wasn't nervous but yes, it's hard to control blinking.

After what seem like forever, it was put in successfully. Now I have to deal with the other problem which is taking it off. At first, it's so hard! I also tried putting the contacts in my eyes by myself. My eyes are already red and swollen + my contacts fell down many times and yet, I never gave up. How am I suppose to use the contacts when I can't even wear them?

So yes, today... I finally understood how to put it. (: If you're having a hard time taking off the contacts then try this: when the contacts are already in your eyes, try to move the lens without blinking. Yes, just play with it until your eyes get used to your hands.

Then after that, hopefully you can already take off your contacts. In putting it on, just hold your eyelids, open your eyes like O___O and yeah. Heh. Also, make sure that your contacts are cupped b'cos sometimes that's the problem. You thought your eyes aren't open wide enough but the problem is the way you held the contacts. ^^ I hope this makes sense. Haha.

So yes, it just took me two days to master this contact-lens problem. (:
