Answer 1

When the doctor said that your eyes were too small, did he mean your eye lid or your eyeball? There are small lenses for small eyeballs. Small eye lids aren't a problem for lenses if you know how to apply the lenses swiftly.

If you are right-handed, then use your index and middle finger to pull open both sides of your eye lids. Then use the index finger to apply the lens to your eye. Don't look directly into the lens to avoid uncontrolled eye flickering.

To remove your lenses. Do the same with your left hand, while using the thumb and index finger of your right hand to pull it out. Don't be afraid to use a little bit of force. Your eye can withstand a small amount of it.

So, how many times are you going to keep posting this question ?

You have had lots of answers everytime you ask...what do you expect us to say that will guaranty that you can wear them ?

We don't know exactly how small your eye opening is, so if you can't, or won't open it wide enough to get a lens in, then what can we do ?

Some have said your Dr. maybe lost patience because you wouldn't open your eyes, so try another Dr.

I suggested you look into getting RGP rigid lenses if your eye opening really IS too small...

What more info do you think will help ?

We can't go and force your eye open...either you can do it, and a lens will fit, or it won't.

If it won't...then you are stuck with glasses...what else can be said.

Even if someone else says, Ya, I got small eyes, and I got contacts...how does that help you ?

"Small" is relative...your eye opening may be smaller still than the one who answers...you don't know.

If the space available really is too small, and soft lenses just won't fit, then you have very few choices...expensive custom made , small diameter soft lenses, or RGP lenses...or glasses.

Also have to wonder why your growth would be finished at the age of 14...your facial shape will still change for sure.
