Any tips for a newbie contact lens wearer? Any ways to make the transition from glasses to lenses easier?

Question

I'm bummed; I had the trial pair less than 2 weeks and already ripped one lens up.... this is harder than it looks.

Answer 1

i had glasses 1st to & then i thought lenses were going 2 b easy when i first got them.. boy was i wrong.. but u just have to kee praciting w/ ur lenses.. i love them so much more.. but yea.. i ripped on of my lenses at first to.. but just keep it up.. you will be frustrated at times and u'll wann give up butin the end u will get use to it and you'll be glad u didnt give up

Answer 2

I used to never be able to wear contact lenses because it freaked me out.  The first night I had to take them out I had a really hard time taking them out.  I was freaking out that I wasn't going to be able to take them out.  It's okay I've ripped tons of lenses, you just have to get used to handling them more easily since they are easy to tear.  Chances are you'll lose a couple too.  Don't worry after a while you'll get used to it and it will just become part of your routine and it will only get easier putting them in and handling them!

yeah but you get used to it. this is how my transition was: scared of putting them in and taking them out, frustrated, got used to it, started loving them, now i am back to glasses and barely wear my contacts anymore.
