Answer 1

Its really impossible for you to have too "small" of eyes for contacts.

The problem you are probably facing is that you are more sensitive then most people are about things close to your eyes.

What you need to get used to is not blinking AT ALL when you are touching your eye. If you blink even a little bit while trying to put a contact it in will be pushed away.

My advise is to wait a year or two and try the contact fit again. Its standard practice in my office. Just try to become more trusting. And practice touching your eye (wash your hand first) and not blinking.

You need to be able to open your eyes very wide and keep them open even if something is touching your eye.

Answer 2

Ask about rigid gas permeable contact lenses.  They are smaller than soft contact lenses and help correct any astymatism you might have.  See another optometrist for his/her opinion...
