Using Contact Lenses -Its me again. i got contacts yesterday and thought i might provide some tips for anybody who is looking for some. ; ) -What really helped me to be able to get the contact in at the doctors was to practice with someone else's contact (not used of course.) I got use to it being on my eye but never really put it in. This helped greatly in getting over my fear since i felt more secure at home. -Putting them in: what is easiest for me is to put it on the total white part at the bottom of my eye (just pulling down the bottom lid, so i can't feel it since if i put it directly on my eye, it itches.) Then i kind of look over at it and i close my eye. -To take them out: i just pull down the bottom lid again w/ my left hand and bring the contact down to the bottom with my index finger and put my thumb and index finger on the sides of the contact and keep moving them toward the center of the contact till it bubbles up, the it just comes right out. -I'm really excited about getting these and i hope i helped in some way and wish you all luck. They're great! |

Using Contact Lenses -Well i think i have a story that just about beats out everybody. Probably about 2 years ago when i tried to get contacts. Of course, can't do it. So after about probably 15 min. the doctor put one in and i freaked out so bad all i remember is blacking out and collapsing on the counter and then the chair. -So i went back yesterday, yet still too scared to put them in (and didn't, though i left crying and red-eyed again.) -Anyways, I'm not giving up since i want them so bad and 'am actually going back later this week to keep trying. Everbody seems to have the same problem but it just hard for me, being the ultra-sensative one. I wish everyone luck. I'm right here with ya. ; ) |
