| My first time getting contacts did NOT go well. First of all, I'm really not great with going to the opthamologist or putting anything(ex. eye drops) in my eyes. I also get really, really nervous. When I went, I thought my normal eye doctor would be helping me, but someone else(not a doctor) was there instead. She showed me how to put the contacts in, but the method she used was really difficult...-.- I had to use my left arm and reach up and across my face to lift up my right eyelid, which made no sense to me. I also hated that she was a few inches away watching me the whole time(it made me feel pretty uncomfortable). Then, of course, I just kept blinking and was too afraid to put the contact in. I tried for about 30 mins, maybe a little less, until I was just sick of the entire thing. I'll probably go back again, but I just don't how HOW on earth I'm going to do it...(Note: I'm 15 years old, and any tips would be greatly appreciated!) |
