Do contacts hurt?

Question

Im getting mines tom, and im kinda scared, do they feel uncomfortable?

Answer 1

Not as long as you put them in correctly.  You won't even feel them.

Answer 2

You just cant leave them in too long.

Answer 3

When you first put them in, you can definitely feel they're there, as your eyes are not used to the feeling. It doesn't hurt as such, its like getting an eyelash in your eye or a bit of dirt.

After a while though, you shouldn't be able to feel the contacts.

After you wear them for a few more days, then you should only be able to feel them after a few seconds you put them in, then it'll be like they're not there at all!

Make sure you get the correct lenses though (eye size and any eye conditions you might have like astigmatism)

Answer 4

i got contacts when i was very young like 11 years old, so anyone can get them and be absolutly fine. When I first got to the eye docter and started practicing getting them in, i'm not gona lie it was hard, and it can sting for a few seconds, but it's normal. Eventually after a few trys you can get them in your eyes. Don't worry about them being a little uncomfortable for a few seconds. They don't feel like they r in your eye at all. but sometimes if there is something on the lenses, like they're not clean they can hurt. make sure you always clean them with solution and don't sleep with them in. but overall i'm very happy with my contacts they r very comfortable, it just takes a little practice when you first get them. i'm sure you'll do fine

Answer 5

You may feel like there is an eyelash in your eye for a few seconds, but that feeling will fade. As long as they are inserted correctly, you will be so happy that you made this desicison.

Answer 6

i have worn them for about 20 years. not the same ones.  the scariest part is putting them in, kinda hard till you  get used to it. then after they are in, you cannot feel them.  good luck.

Answer 7

If they're the right kind and the right size, you won't even be able to feel them!

Answer 8

No, if they do then they're probably in wrong, not a god fit, or there's something between them and your eyes like dust. The first few times you wear them it may be awkward, but you'll get used to them. They're so much better than glasses!

Answer 9

no siree, i got mine for the firt time today, and theyre as comfertable as ever! bt, it took me an hour and at lease 50 trys to get it into one eye to times, lol

good luck!

Answer 10

I have been wearing them for years, and now I don't notice them at all. It depends on the type you are getting. A lot of the newer ones contain more water which allow your eyes to breath and are therefore more comfortable.

The dailies are so thin you can't feel them but they are harder to put in for beginners. Whatever type you have chosen daily disposable monthlies or extended wear make sure

you keep them clean, that will be the only time you can hit problems.

Answer 11

Nah, you won't even know they're there, unless you can't see of course. It takes some practice putting them in and getting them out though, you'll be fine. I love my contacts, glasses suck./

Answer 12

Not really. When you wear them for the 1st time, they will take some getting used to. If the place you go is a good place, they will be able to fit your eyes for the best contacts for you. I went to a cheap place & they gave me the wrong size for my eyes. I went to a place that was a little more expensive & they really took the time to make sure I got the right ones.

Answer 13

yes and no.

when i put my contacts in for the FIRST time it burnt a little and made my eyes water.

You also have to make sure you put them in correctly, it takes practice.

but after a day or so you cant feel them at all and its like there not even there :)

hope this helps.
