Scared about contacts and touching my eyes any advice?

Question

i went to an eye doctor a couple days ago to finally get contacts and when the doctor got my contacts in my eyes i was so happy but i was scared to take them out because i didn't know how and after that the doctor had to get them out for me and then she told me to practice while at home and ever since i came home my eyes started to hurt and turn red and they still are don't know what to do, help?!

Answer 1

you don't know how to take them out???I'm sorry don't get that part

but your eyes have most likely started to hurt and turn red because you're not used to them yet, it comes in time when they start to feel normal but believe me they do.  There also could be something in your eye like an eyelash, with contacts it hurts like 15 times more than usual if there's something in there.  your eyes may be dry as well.  you should give your eyes rest if your new with them

oh and about touching ur eyes don't worry bout it u get used to it quite easily
