How long did it take you to put in your contacts for the first time?

Question

I tried it yesterday for about a half hour and couldnt get it. I am very nerous and frustrated and upset at the difficulty. How long before you got the contacts IN your eye? I will be extremely jealous of the people who say right away so try not to say that hahaa.

Answer 1

its ok. it took me 2 hours!!! the eye doctor got kinda mad cuz it took forever

Answer 2

maybe 15-20 minutes. don't worry, you'll improve soon. i just got contacts 2 days ago and it still takes me a while. well, good luck! =]

P.S. taking them out is much easier (for me). last night i got them out right away. but i don't know if you have trouble with that, so if you do...sorry!! :(

Answer 3

well me personally, i got them in no problem but thats because i have no problems with touching my eye and i have large eyes lol but my husband, omg he tried to put some color contacts in one time and it was the funniest thing i've ever seen.....he tried for like an hour and FINALLY got 1 in....not both, ONE haha so dont feel bad, some people just have a hard time.....the way i do it which seems to make it easy is go into a bathroom where there is the little vanity mirror on the side and stand next to it and look to the side and apply the contact to the side of your eye then quickly look over so the contact grabs onto the color of your eye then close.....hopefully that'll work! good luck
