Using Contact Lenses Hi, I'm only 12 but I've had glasses for almost 3 years. I was offered a free trial of contacts that was supposed to slow down my myopia's progress as I became a teenager. At first I was really hopeless. The optician told me to go home and practise for a week opening my eye and touching it. I confess I only did it a few times during that week. Back to the optician's I tried again. I was still pretty hopeless. Then I suddenly was like, open your eyes, girl! I opened my eyes all right and got the contact lense on then I forgot to look down and look up and blink so the contact lense came out. I was pretty worried. I mean, I might be real young for contact lenses but I was feeling like a total idiot. So the optician put some eye drops in my eye to help my pupil get bigger. After that my eye was numb and I felt better. My reflexes weren't so persistent. I could get them on and off real easy. Like most people, the idea of pinching my eye to get the lenses off really sickened me. But when the optician demonstrated how to do it, I realised it was only the word. The action was really just stroking the eye and putting the fingers together and lifting the contact lense out. Call it squeezing if you like. So, if you feel scared, just remember, it's only the word that scares people. I found it help to have my Dad around to tell me that my contact wasn't on centre or I needed to be rougher (Go gently, nobody said to go high speed and poke your eye though!). I've had them for a week or so (I can't remember) and putting them on and taking them off only takes a few minutes. I've adjusted pretty fast. I was reading this stuff though and was stunned that people used their left hand for left eye and right hand for right eye. It's supposed to be one hand for both eyes. I was also very surprised that many people felt scared to go back again and gave up. Wearing contact lenses are real hard, I know, but you don't just give up, no offense. You gotta keep going and keep practising and then succeed. And maybe asking for those eye drops I got might help. They use it for enlarging and numbing the pupil for measuring it with those machines. I was quite discouraged by my failures and by the websites that said that people under 15 are not strong enough to wear contact lenses. I was quite puzzled. Why are they not strong enough? But I had to admit I was pleased I was more successful with more contact lenses than lots of people. Sorry, had to admit it, but I was really pleased. Keep going, Jade |
