What type of lenses do you wear? And how strong are they?

Removing is easy as cake. Getting them in is tricky as hell. Damn reflexes.

I want to start with daylenses -1.50 strong
My eye keeps twinking.

You will get used to it. Just make sure they're clean. It's easy.

Force your eye open. Put the lens on your index finger of your right hand, your middle finger on lower eyelid and use your middle finger on left hand to hold your upper eyelid. Now that the eye is vulnerable put that shit in.

I personally don't wear the, but I find touching my eyeballs to be fairly easy due to how much of a fucking weirdo I used to be.
Takes practice.

Reflex closes it, or it begins watering like a motherfucker. Im actually trying that strat but it just wont work

Make sure your eyes are really well lubricated, you have short nails and clean hands. Do the movement of putting the lens in, but without the lens a few times first, so your eye is prepared then proceed

Once I was riding shotgun in a truck
In Florida, so it's hot
Wind from side window hitting face
Wind also hits contact, fusing it to eyeball
Contact Won't come out
Force contact out, chunk of eyeball comes out with it
Had to wear an eye patch for about a month

Asshole friends got me a stuffed Animal parrot, so I wore it on my shoulder

Never wore contacts again

Been wearing contacts so long I can take both of them off at the same time and put them in without a mirror.

Assuming you mean daily throwaways? They a shit. Get the nice breathable silicone ones that you wear for a month w/o taking out. Comfy as fuck, you don't have to interact w/ them as much other than putting drops in; much better experience.

This guy gets it, but I do it with contact on middle finger and ring finger to hold lower lid, then pinch the upper with left thumb and index to hold it. I usually just stare at the fucker 'til it's in, the rounder shape of the pupil makes it easier for the contact to suction on than if you look away and put it on the white. Takes practice

You get used to it over time

You gotta get used to doing it and you can put it in without worrying, the first time I did it, I could barely be able to do it, due to my reflexes, but you see you need confidence, if you're to fucking scared to do it you won't be able to fucking put them in.

Watch ooutfor the fuckers splitting, trying to remove a couple of millimetres of clear plastic from your eye will make removing a complete contact seem like a piece of piss. Also avoid rubbing your eyes heavily, they can curl up and get stuck under your upper eyelid. All good fun.

Try to put it in a side of the eye instead of right on the pupil, it is less sensible and may help you getting used to the sensation. Just don't close the eye too fast or the contact can pop away.

Easiest way is to hold your bottom and top eyelid open with your other hand using thumb and index finger and put contact in with other hand. Easiest thing in the world to Take in and out contacts. They are irritating as fuck the first week but after that you dont notice anything.

This is retarded. Dont do this

The first time I tried to put in contacts at the optometrist's office it took me *three hours* to get them in - because touching my eye was such a major squick for me.

I practiced by learning how to simply touch my finger to my eye (look up, pull lower eyelid down slightly, touch white of eye). It took a long, long time but I eventually learned how to touch my eye without freaking.

Now I can put them in or take them out almost as easily as I can putting on or taking off glasses. It's really easy.

Learning how to wear contacts is definitely worth it - though I like wearing glasses sometimes too. And I especially like being able to take off whatever visual aid and just have the world be blurry so I don't have to process it.

Good luck and good vision, OP.

Can you post source for those type of contacts?

If not, then take them out every evening and put them back in every morning for that same month.

You don't blink during the night, your contacts don't move, your eyes dry out more then they need to and bacteria might accumulate and start an infection of some sort.

Ask your specialist.

Seriously no way anyone reading do this. It'll just go behind your eye and you'll spend an hour or so in INTENSE fucking pain.

>If not, then take them out every evening and put them back in every morning for that same month.
This. This this this.

Long-term wear of contacts (without taking them out) is a great way to fuck up your eyes. Just because the FDA approved something doesn't mean it's safe or smart.

Use the extra oxygen permeability of longer-wear lenses to have them be more comfortable, but take them out when you can. Your eyes will be much happier and much less susceptible to disease and damage.

Op here, im just going to try and touch my eye without anything on it see how that works and move on from there. I never planned on sleeping with contacts. mom uses contacts aswel and she told me bout not wearing them while sleeping etc

Easy: don't look at the contact, look past it into the mirror. Insert contact.

Removing:
Looking past your finger into the mirror, touch the contact and drag it down a bit below your eye ball, then while keeping your focus on the mirror back at you, pinch the contact out.

Remember your eye doesn't feel pain so don't be nervous.

Actually that's harder, touching your eye without the contact is basically poking your eye ball.

You have to keep trying until you get it.

It is one of the most frustrating things that i've ever done. I ultimately just stuck with glasses.

might be harder, but it sounds easier for me honestly. cuz my finger isnt a foreign object if that makes sense
why stuck with glasses? you look better without

its not that hard once you get used to it
i've been wearing them for about 3 years and i have many different colors.
I have red, pink, purple, gray, yellow.

I actually use my thumb and index finger to kind of pinch it when I remove them, that way i dont need to move the contact down first.

Also what this man said, just get used to it

I tried that when I first got them, what I do is put my index finger on the center of it and slide it down until it folds on my bottom eye lid, comes out pretty easily

Try a little bit of salt for extra grip

It took some time for me to put on lenses again, but i still do, and i actually like it

This is one of the several brands that makes long-term wear contacts. As you can read on the page
>contact lenses are FDA-approved for daily wear and up to 30 nights of continuous wear


The fuck are you on about?

Either I'm one lucky bastard or you're bullshitting.
Doesn't fuck up the eye at all, been wearing long-terms for about 7 years now and not only are my eyes and vision fine, my prescription has stayed the same when 7 years ago the doc told me it would get much worse.
Worked in contracting for one year of that, got sweat, dust, and all kinds of shit in my eyes, rubbed it out, put drops in a few times; didn't have any problems.

look at them while you put them in.

Aw you're silly, first two days are sure hard, after that i guarantee you'll be inserting and removing those easily. but for now practice in front of a mirror

tfw i have -11

Getting them in isn't a problem for me, getting them to STAY in can be tricky at first. I hate when I put my lens in and blink and the fucker pops out or gets stuck between my eyelashes

Getting them out is the easiest part, make sure your fingers are dry, put tips of thumb and index finger on your eyeball and pinch. voila

try putting it on the whites of your eyes them look around and the contact will center itself. That what I have to do

I guess that's what you get when asking for advice on Sup Forums

Just give it time. When I first got contacts, it used to take me between 10 and 20 minutes to get both of them in. Now it takes me about 5 seconds haha.

Just keep practicing every day. It takes as long as it takes. Eventually, you'll have no trouble putting them in. You just need to retrain your reflexes.

>Either I'm one lucky bastard or you're bullshitting.
It's the first.

There are people 100 years old who smoked 4 packs of cigarettes a day, but that doesn't mean that was a safe thing for everyone. Depriving one's corneas of oxygen for extended periods falls into that same category.

It's great you've been lucky. But developing serious eye problems because of long-term wear would be the other side of that. For me, given it takes about 10 seconds to either take out or put in both lenses, 20 seconds of time each day isn't worth the risk to my vision.

-11??? Holy fuck.

Are your contacts a meter thick?

Tell your eyeballs to not be pussies. I placed mine on my first try after a couple of beers.

I avoid the initial blink-them-out problem by gently lifting my upper eyelid as I close it the first time, then gently wiping the closed eyelid to press out any air bubbles under the contact. Takes a fraction of a second and works every time.

Learned to do that the first (and last) time I watched my contact fall out and bounce to some difficult-to-reach location on the floor.

Fuck. That's why my friend with contacts carry around contact safe eye drops. Once he said that the contact went behind his eye. He was about to seek out medical attention but got if out.
