Answer 1

well youll figure it out and after a while its gonna become easier to put them in..just try to remember what the doctor told u how to put them in fisrt hold up ur eye lid put the contact in your index finger and slowy put it in your eye if it dont go in reput it in the contact solution and try untill it goes it..good luck

Answer 2

Same happened to me, try again tomorrow.

If you're still having problems see the doctor again.

You get used to it after like a week.

Answer 3

don't worry. the first week is always really hard.  

i remember that the first week it took me about 30-45 minutes to put them on (no kidding)! sometimes my eyes would end up all red and teary from poking at them for forever. on some days i ended up wearing my glasses because i was just so tired and upset.

but don't worry, it gets better. i've been wearing contacts for a year now and putting them on is like second nature.  

also i don't use the technique they gave me at the doctors office.

instead i just look up, pull the bottom eye lid down and gently push the contact into my eye. then i just slowly blink it into the right place.

what also helps is that i put a drop of the contact solution on my finger tip and then rub that in my eye even before i put the contact in.

that gives the eye moisture (which helps the contact stick).

always put a drop in the center of the contact too and don't blink too fast after you get it on your eye because all the movement is gonna push the contact off.  

if you blink too much then get someone to help you drop the contact in while you hold you eye open with your hands.

and if it absolutely doesn't work today then get your glasses and try tomorrow.

don't stress! the first week is always the toughest! :)
