    Ok its been a week. Its been fine for me. On my first time was like an hour but now my right eye contact keeps wrinkling and I can’t seem to fix it. I know its not torn because I checked it lots of times. Right now I’m blinking like crazy D: Any help plz?

    That used to happen to me everytime for the first couple of days when i first got mine. One thing that worked for me was always making sure that you can see your full eye and that there is a bit of white around the iris, that way the contact is less likely to hit your eyelid. Also, even if it seems really annoying and hard at first, keep trying them, in less than a week i didnt even have to think about what i was doing anymore, and it gets really easy.

    Contacts are great! Mine are soft and feel really comfortable. It took me an hour and a half first time putting them in but now it takes like 5 minutes! If anyone wants to talk about it, just message me. Good luck!

    Dont worry, its easy.
    I was scared at first, I could spend like 30 mins trying to fit the contact lens into my eye.
    But now, I can do it in 5 seconds. :)

    Contacts, especially hard lens, hurt a lot, sadly for me, I haven’t worn them in a while and I’m scared to put them on again.

    I’m also in the 6th grade and I got contacts 2 days ago.Today I put 1 of my contacts on and it burned because it was on the white part it really hurt but I had 2 close my eyes and look down and roll my eyes so it can go in place

    im in 6th grade got contacts today and iit was frustating and took me about 20 tries on each eye but i got it and now its so easy. and doctors say that children learn to put on contacts quicker and easier than the average adult.

    The best advice someone told me was to always keep your hands wet and thats what help me put my contacts on much easier…

    You’re pushing. I just got contacts today and once I learned to not PUSH at all what so ever, it becomes easy. It takes no pressure, the lens should suction itself to your eye :)

    Hope that helps :)

    Are you joking? Don“t you think there are some professions that require CL instead of glasses (e.g. cabin crew)?

    Try drying your finger a little, but keeping the side that touches your eye moist.

    The contacts keep flipping inside-out for me and it’s damn frustrating.
