Im wanting contacts and im really nervous do you have any tips to help calm me down?

Question

Ive had glasses 4 a while now and im not used to touching my eyes... everytime my finger gets near my eye i start shaking and everything.... can you help me?

Answer 1

u get use to them ıve been wearıng them for 5 years ıt mıght feel weırd the fırst few tımes but u get use to ıt u dont have anythıng to worry about

Answer 2

I recommend putting lots of saline solution on the contact before putting it on your eye.  It'll be less irritating when you put it in.  

Just remember it takes practice and time to get used to.  Probably only a week or two.

Answer 3

Contacts are soooooo much better than glasses!  Once you get them in, you'll be amazed at how well you can see!  It is sort of nerve-wracking to stick your finger in your eye the first few times, but you get used to it.

What helped me the most when I first started wearing them (years and years ago)--someone told me when putting the contact in, look directly at it-don't look around, it will just stick right on.  

Good luck!  You'll love them!

Answer 4

They will be weird at first but get used to them they will feel realy good after about a week of useing them but don't give upp right away and remember to get the contacs in the right way just look straight up

Answer 5

Practice in the mirror with your finger.

Open your eye with your right middle finger on the bottom lid and your left on the top lid (or vice versa if you are left handed). Then use your index finger of your right (or left) and just pretend your putting in the lense. You don't need to poke your eye, just gently tap it. It will take practice but you will do it after time, just hold your eye open.

Then when it comes to the contacts it will be easier for you.

Also, don't look at the contact coming towards your eye (this makes you want to blink), you should look at your actual eye in the mirror, that you are putting the contact in.

=) Good luck.

Answer 6

Aww don't worry! I just got my fitting for contacts today and at first I was really nervous but then everyone at the eye doctor place was really friendly and helpful. Just remember that everyone has trouble putting them in at first and if you absolutely can't put them in then no one's forcing you to. Good luck!
