🟢 Eye QOTD: Have you had any success with contacts? Any ideas or tips of your own for getting lenses in?

I really struggle. The few times I've ever gotten them in I don't struggle with getting them out, it's easy for me. But I really struggle getting them in. Today was my first time re-trying in over a year. I only got to try for about 20 mins and had to go. Did not get them in.

A great tip for people who can't stop blinking: Get SUPER close to the mirror while you're doing it. Literally so close that your nose is touching the glass! It helps because your brain is expecting it to touch your eye much more than if you're further away! I massively struggled with mine until I figured that out. Fixed the blinking problem immediately!

I would like to share my experience as a beginning contacts wearer. I went to 2 training sessions the first one was a disaster. The lens fell on the floor 3 times then I did not have my eyes open enough then I was putting it in too fast. The second training session went perfectly. You have to pull back your eyelashes along with your eyelids and take your time. You also need to have a dry finger to put in the lens or else it sticks to your finger and not your eye. Do not give up, you just need to remain calm and practice, practice, practice. Good luck to anyone else who decides to wear contacts.

honestly idk how many times i played this video in the background as i tried to put my contacts in, but its definitely not just the show of techniques here, its also the calming instructions that reassures me it's all cool and i can absolutely put contacts in

For anyone reading this. My first time it took 3 hours to put one contact in. Now it takes me like 30 seconds to put it in. Don’t worry it’s all about practice. At first touching my eye burned but now it feels ticklish. My struggle now is that I start laughing from the sensation lol

Some tips that helped me as a beginner: 1. Keep the lens right on your fingertip for better control. 2. Always check if the lens is the right way out 3. Stand in front of a mirror, pull your lower eyelid down with your non dominant hand and keep it close to the eyelid 4. Tilt your head slightly downwards but keep your eyes on the mirror 5. Put the lens below your iris, on the white part (i noticed that it was harder to put on lenses if i try putting them directly on my iris) and once you close your eye and look around, the lens will automatically be put into place 6. When taking them out, repeat steps 3 & 4 and put your finger on top of the lens (i put it below my pupil because again if i put my finger right in front of my eye it triggers blinking) and then slide the lens downwards. Once it is down on the white part of your eye, pinch the lens and it comes out. Hope i helped!

How do i know which is the correct side

I am 41, got contacts at 40 for da 1st time. Took me going 3 times. Now iam a pro. Practice Practice & a good teacher, which I had.

Do not give up. I went from not even being able to touch my eyelid to straight up being confortable putting on both lenses with slight disconfort within 4 days of trying. first it took me 30 minutes just to put the right contact not being able to put in the left one and through practice now it only takes me around 3 mins to get them both in. Key is patience and consistency. Take one step at the time.

A tip: when taking lens out of the package use opposite hand’s pointer finger and then place it on to the dominant hand’s pointer finger. This will allow for proper lens direction, dry fingertip, and the the lens will stick to your eye instead of your wet finger. Try it, you may like it. :)

My method is to look sideways (towards my nose) and first put the lens on the white part of the eye and then slide it into place. My eyes are super sensitive and I haven’t managed to get contacts straight in like most people do. I use the same method to take them out - slide the lens onto the white part of the eye and pinch it out. Both are time savers for me personally 🙌

Thank you! worked like a charm. I haven't come back to contact lenses in over 8 years, and always took 15 minutes trying to get it right. Today I got it in 2 minutes, on the first try with your technique

I started out wearing hard lenses which are not very comfortable. My eye doctor goes over a litany of do’s and don’ts concerning proper handling of your contacts. I also don’t wear them everyday. I give my eyes a rest by wearing my glasses. If you follow your eye doctors instructions you can enjoy the freedom of not wearing glasses all the time. As the good doctor says: “You only get one set of eyes. Best to take care of them.”

❤❤💯 Thanks for sharing Bobby! I should have a video on RGPs soon.

It worked! After trying and failing repeatedly and finally giving up, I watched the video today and successfully got both contacts in in under 5 tries. Sooooo happy. The best tips for me were 1. Holding eyelid up from the eyelashes (I was just grabbing the upper lid and not getting enough eyeball exposed to land the contact) and 2. Looking straight down into a mirror vs. head on. Freedom from glasses achieved-Thank you!!

I remember when I first got mine I was 14 and just plopped them in right away and the optometrist was so surprised and what people are saying is true walking outside for the first time with contacts feels like getting a new super power

I have had lenses for 2 years now, but I still have problem with correctly putting them. I can easily put them, but it still takes to me several attempts until they feel comfortable in my eyes. Usually, it happens that when I put them and blink the image seems broken or when I put them my eyes don't feel comfortable, so I need to re-put them until it feels correct and comfortable.

Hey everyone. Just a tip for anyone that keeps blinking: Look at your other eye (if you're using a mirror). This helped me not blink and I got it on in 2 tries. Otherwise, this video actually did help and so did some of the tips in the comments

For anyone who is stressed about getting contacts, I know exactly what to do. YOU HAVE TO PRACTICE. I spent like a week before I got my contacts just touching my eye lashes, eye lids, and my actual eyes. This will make your eyes WAY more comfortable when you actually get the contacts

@jpowel

Your "actual eyes"? Like your fucking eyeball? With just your finger? What is wrong with you

okay I've been wearing lenses for 6 years now and I didn't know people actually straight up out it on their iris. My method to make it easy and simple (please do try this ) take your lense on your finger then look to the side so your iris at the corner of your eye (doesn't have to be at the very end or anything) now put the lense in white portion of your eye. and when you look straight ahead it'll just fit into place . You can close your eyelid after just to make sure it's "secure". This honestly is the easiest way.

The scariest part was taking them out oh man I stressed out for almost 45 minutes and stressed more when I read comments when ppl couldn't take them for days at the end i've read a comment that helped me alot and took them out easily I was so proud of my self for having the courage to touch my eyes lol It will be worth and please take your time and don't stress your self if if doesn't wanna go out So this how I managed to take them off turn your head to the right and move your eyes to the opposite direction now slide your contact to the right until it's out

Thank you! Your video saved me today!! I am new to contacts and struggled with removing them this evening! Your tip was the best and I was successful! Now, my fear of removal is over! Thank you!! 🤗🤗🤗🤗🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

I have worn glasses since I was 8 years old! I am 28 now and just got contacts two days ago! I am able to get them in and out, but not very smoothly, I will definitely have to try looking down into a mirror, I think that will help a lot!

This tutorial was WAY easier than the instruction I got from the prescriber. Although they were all wonderful, this method worked for me (first time contact lens wearer) and now I am a pro. THANK YOU!

That taco trick LITERALLY just changed my routine! 🌮 There's been nothing more frustrating than FINALLY getting the lens in only to realize that scratchy feeling meant it was inside out. THANK YOU!!!!🤩😍

I agree. It's a bit hard to tell when you start wearong contact lenses. Often you can't tell because of the angle you're looking at the lenses so I have to invert the lenses and compare which one is more curvier, which can lead to micro-tearing of the lenses and also sticking more debris and other contaminants to the lens. Bending the lens a little bit to see even IF the edges will curve inwards a LITTLE bit has been a life changer as a new contact wearer.

@doctoreyehealth this was EXTREMELY helpful! I was beyond frustrated putting in contacts and gave up after 4 days a few months ago. Decided to give them a go again but watched this first and got them both in within 60 seconds on each eye. Only gonna get better with practice so THANK YOU!

Big tips for my blinking squad: position yourself in front of the mirror and rotate your head. You should see yourself in a 3/4 profile. The direction you turn your head depends on which eye you're putting the lens in: that eye should be the one more distant from the mirror. Now look at your reflection and follow this guy's instructions - but with this position you can apply the lens from the side on the white part without covering your pupil with anything. I found it helps me control my blinking reflex immensly. Before no matter what even if I gripped my eyelids Clockwork Orange style I still blinked like crazy, now I can put it on with (almost) ease. Same method for taking them out: same position, with your index finger try sliding it to the external side, once it's on the side, the curvature of your eye should allow you to take it off, also that point of the eye is the least sensible and shouldn't trigger your blinking reflex as bad. Hope this helps someone!

32 years old. First time using contacts. This indtruction video was perfect! Got them in after I learned how to hold my eyelids back. Thank you!

This video is great! I have tried it couple of years ago and failed, and haven't had any reason to not wear glasses until now, and it took me 10 minutes to put them on for the first time ever. Thank you doctor.

i havent got contacts yet as i'm a bit scared (i cry easily during eye tests🥲), but this video is kind of reassuring and doesn't make it seem so bad, thanks!

We were there for nearly two hours and I had only gotten a lens in one of my eyes (at the moment the eye doctor wasn’t in the rooms). So, I looked at my mom who wears glasses and said look it could take me hours to get the second one in, could you please just put them in my eyes and say that I did it so we can finally go home? Thankfully she said yes, and it all worked out smoothly. Boy, was that a day 😂😂

Was putting in a mini sclerna and got it in one try after this video 🎉🎉

My contacts kept sticking to my finger, which was making it difficult for me to get them into my eye. The the method where you were face down looking toward a counter or table with a mirror on it was the most efficient for me, as I got it within three tries for each eye. Thanks for the video!

Use a mirror and focus on the REFLECTION of your eye in the mirror. This way you don’t actually see the lens coming straight at your eye causing you to flinch. Also go slow.

Don't look at the contact coming for you 😁. Once you have the contact on your finger and lined up, look away and press the contact to the white of your eye then roll your pupil back into place under the contact.

As a twelve year old putting my contacts in for the first time, this has helped a lot! I have my second appointment tomorrow so I’m going to try this and see if it works! Just tried touching my eye now using the tips, and I could touch my eye so easily I hardly even felt it!

Wow. I just managed to put on my contacts in maybe 3 minites after watching half of the video, just because i was holding my upper eyelid in a stupid way. Holding the very down part of it instead of the skin over or soemwhere else really helps control the movement better, and helps power through that blinking reflex. I find it eye to directly look at my finger with the contact while putting on, and feeling when the finger touches the eyelid to know when it’s likely the contact is on. This video really helped!

I just had my appointment for contacts yesterday I only have to have one contact in my right eye. It took me 25 min the first time (put it in, take it out, and pit it back in), I'm supposed to wear it for 4hrs then 6hrs then 8 then 12. This is only my second day wearing them, it took me much longer to get then in almost 2hrs (with a break because I was so frustrated) this video and the comments helped so much! Thank you!
