| This is an awesome collection of tips! I went to the optometrist today for a check up. whilst i was there i inquired about contacts - i thought it might be nice to have the option of contacts and glasses. He suggested trying to put them in for me to see how i felt about them. I didn't give it any thought - he tried twice to get the contact in my right eye - on the second attempt we made it in. as soon as it was in, i started to feel sick, and told him so - i had a sudden urge to want to rip the thing out, and that was making me feel nauseous. he kept it in anyway, and tried my left eye. every time he tied to get it in, i would start to feel more ill and i would push him and the contact away - at some points it made me dry retch! He did say that the contact was getting into the eye, i was just reacting too quick (due to the dry retching) to let it settle. After 45 mins of trying for the left eye, i told him to give up. He told me not to fret, and that he'd had two people faint on him when trying to get them in. He was very kind, told me to come back whenever i wanted for another go - he had a lot of patience for me. strange that i had such a severe reaction to it though - why when he tried to get it in my left eye would that make me dry retch? Has anyone had such a response?! I felt like such an idiot when i walked out, so this site has been of great help. Hopefully i will go back for round two one day!
