How long did it take you to get used to contacts?

Question

I had an appointment on thursday at the optometrist and when I started practicing with the contacts I was hopeless with them but she said nobody gets it right first time. Time went on and when the hour was up I was nearly there and she said I'd made quite an improvement. I just find it really difficult keeping my top lashes peeled up and my bottom lashes at the same time, AND sticking the contact in without my eye flickering about 'cos of the solution. So yeah my question is how long did it take you to get fully used to them with no problems??

Answer 1

it took me around 4days probably to get used to them in my eyes, and it took me forever to first put them in!

but now i can do both eyes in like 10 seconds.

but sometimes i still mess up and it hurts :p

for being fully used to them, no problems  im gona say about 1 1/2 weeks :]

Answer 2

it took me about a week to be able to put them on the first or second time.  It also helped that my doctor switched me from air optix to acuvue oasys.  It weird but acuvue seemed "stickier" somehow and now they go on on the first try.

Answer 3

It usually takes a couple of days to a week. but its worth it.

Answer 4

It took me maybe 3 days. I can now put both my contacts in in 2 seconds. I mean it is an adjustment but i can't even feel mine. don't worry you WILL get used to contacts trust me
