Answer 1

Well... when you go for an appointment, they usually have a big meeting with you, and teach you how to use them... but for now...

1. You take them out of the solution, place them on your finger, make sure it isn't inside out (egdes curve in smoothly), and place it on your eye. Blink to help it settle.

2. You buy certain drops for your contacts... ask your eye doctor about this one b/c certain lenses react differently.

3. Your eye doctor will reccomend which lenses are right for you. Some are made to stay hydrated, others for astigmitsim... Some are disposable, some are monthly. Your eye doctor will help you out.

4. Contacts won't go behind your eye. If it gets caught in your eyelid... blink, and move your eye around. If needed, move your eye around and re-adjust it with your finger... make sure your hands are clean first.

5. I rubbed my eyes, and my contact lense fell out, but that was because it was old and dry. REMEMBER TO REPLACE YOUR LENSES!

6. At first it feels like you have an eyelash in your eye. If you place it in inside out, it will be uncomfortable... but you will get used to them after 2-3 days. I have mine in and I can't feel them.

7. They are tricky to get in and out for first-timers... You will get the hang of it... and you will love them. Try not to swim with them in, as they can fall out easily. Clean them as often as your eye doctor reccommends.

I rub my eyes with my contacts in... sometimes they are watery... sometimes not. You can cry and your contacts don't move. If they fit properly, they will stay in place fine... mine only fell out once but that was because I was purposely rubbing my eyes hard.

1. you hold it on your finger like a little bowl and then hold your eyelids apart with other fingers (you have to figure out which way is comfortable for you).  then you just stick it in.

2.  you rinse them when you take them out at night.  however, if your eyes get dry you can put solution or drops in with your contacts in too.

3.  acuvue with hydraclear are really good.  they rarely get dry.

4.  sometimes if they are too old they will get folded while in your eye or scrunched up under your eyelid.  it hurts, but not terribly.  you just take it out.

5.  nothing really weird.  sometimes when i sleep in mine they fall out and i wake up without one of them.

6.  they won't hurt unless you keep wearing them when they are worn out, which is rare bc they usually last at least a month.

yawning won't do anything unless you rub your eyes a lot and then it might move them around but it's really not a problem.

i love my contacts.

Answer 5

1 - The doctor or technician will show you how to put in your contacts. It's easy once you get used to it.

2 - You can put drops in while your contact is in your eye.

3 - I use Night & Day brand contacts, but it depends on how you want to wear them (if you want to sleep in them, how often you want to throw them away and use new ones, etc).

4 - They can't really go in the back of your eyelid very easily.

5 - I used to rip mine ALL the time until I got used to them.

6 - They'll hurt if there's an eyelash under them or something, or if they're torn or not clean. It can also hurt if you leave them in overnight if you're not wearing overnight ones.

7 - Just be sure to clean them very well, and don't freak out if the first few times you try to put them in, you can't do it. I couldn't put mine in at first, and had to make another appointment to try them again later. I've been wearing them for like 10 years now. Rubbing your eyes can make your contacts feel kind of itchy and can make them move around in your eyes.
