2 questions I cant get contacts in my eyes,help? And does staring at a computer screen alot affect ur vision?

Question

Since last year on and off ive been getting contacts over and over again, but failing getting them on my eye. Ive tried atleast 3 or 4 different contacts throughtout the year, and have never got it in by myself. I've had probably 500 tries.

I either cant get them in my eye because:

My eye automattically closes when they get close, and if i try to keep em open, i end up tearing alot.

or

Im able to touch my eye but the contact never sticks to my eye.

Ive tried eye sensitivy eye drops, but i can barley manage to get them in my eye without them closing.

Whats wrong?

And also. Since like age 9 ( or around grade 4) ive been playing computer games and ps2 games. Sorta alot too. Around 5th grade i started to get bad vision. In 6th its got worst, 7th, worst, now 8th and going on to 9th im down to 52/19. Is this really bad? 2/3 of my dad's side cousins had bad vision that got worst until they were like 16-18 then their vision got perfect. Will this happen to me?

Answer 1

You need to hold your eyelids open while you're inserting your contacts.

Hold your hand in front of you with your palm facing up.

Put the contact on the tip of your left middle finger, so that it sits like a bowl.

Hold the bottom eyelid of your left eye with the ring finger of your left hand, and the top eyelid of your left eye with the ring finger of your right hand. Very gently pull your eyelids apart. Don't press into your eye, just use enough pressure to keep your eyelids in place.

Slowly and carefully, move the middle finger of your left hand, the one with the contact on it, toward your left eye until your contact is sitting on your eye. You should be able to move this finger away now, and your contact should remain on your eye. If that's the case, you can take your other fingers off your eyelids.

Repeat the same procedure for your right eye - except switch hands. The contact will be on the middle finger of your right hand, your ring finger of your right hand will hold the bottom eyelid still and the ring finger of your left hand will hold the top eyelid still.

It does take some practice and coordination, but you can do it.

Answer 2

stick with glasses -they are easier to maintain, you can change styles at whim, insurances have better coverage for them, you lessen the chance wrinkles around the eyes & infection.  talk to your optometrist about an Rx change.  if you aren't comfortable with the new lenses, ask for a referral to an opthalmologist.

Answer 3

You may be using the wrong type of contacts, there are many out there and you may just need to keep trying until you find the right ones.  If you have a stigmatism, I believe contacts never actually fit properly due to the shape of your corneas.  Maybe allergic to your saline solution (I was allergic to OptiFreeze)?  Or your contacts may be inside out and they will not stick properly if they are not going in the correct way.
