Wearers of contact lenses share their views:
It's important that you go to an optometrist and get them to show you how to look after your lenses and also how to put them in.
If you are still experiencing difficulty, take your contacts into any glasses store, or your eye doctor, and they will show you. Bring your own solution.
When I'm ready to try putting it in my eye, I also look towards my other eye and put it in towards the outside. Don't put it in over your iris. I usually put a drop or two of saline in the lens before I put it in my eye. After a couple of blinks, it will find its way over your iris.
Lean over a sink in case the lens goes flying. To take out your right lens, hold your left hand about 2-3 inches away from your eye. Keep your gaze straight ahead. Bring your right forefinger up and touch it to the outer edge of your eye, right where the two lids meet. Then pull that spot back, so your eyelids are tightened a bit. Then blink, and the lens will pop out.
Answerjust grab it dont be scared. Answerno dont just grab it you might scratch some cells in your eye AnswerJust slide them out1. Follow and save the directions that come with your lenses. Request literature from your eye-care practitioner about caring for contact lenses.
2. be exact in following the directions that come with each lens-care product. If you have questions, ask your eye-care practitioner or pharmacist.
3. Wash and rinse your hands before handling lenses. Fragrance-free soap is best.
4. Use two or three drops of your saline solution or your lubricating/rewetting drops in each eye 10 minutes before removing a soft contact lens. This will rehydrate the lens so that it's not dry when you remove it.
5. Work over a table with a soft towel covering the top. If you work over a sink, close the drain and use a washcloth to cover the drain area.
6.Take out the right lens first, then left ' always.
7. look up, touch the lens, and let it slide down and over to the outside corner of the eye. The lens will bunch up, so it's easy to fold out with your fingertips and grab out of your eye.
8. To remove a lens that you cannot get out with your fingertips, miniature suction cups are available at most pharmacies. These are recommended mostly with hard contact lenses, although the cups could be useful with soft lenses too.
9. Don't worry about a contact lens being lost in your eye; it can't happen. If it slides under your eyelid or becomes displaced, try looking in the opposite direction of where the lens is and nudge it with your finger on your lid, towards the pupil of your eye.
Tips:
Gas-permeable contact lenses are much simpler to insert than soft contact lenses, but for some, more difficult to remove. Because they don't fold, you can't really grab them with your fingertips.
Consider a thicker contact lens if thinner lenses (disposable and extended-wear lenses) are more difficult for you to handle. It's often hard to tell if they have folded inside out.
Clean, rinse and disinfect reusable lenses each time you remove them, even if this is several times a day.
Clean, rinse and air-dry the lens case each time you remove the lenses. Then put in fresh solution. Replace the lens case every six months.
Get your eye-care practitioner's OK before taking medicines or using topical eye products, even those you buy without a prescription.
warnings:
The risk of corneal ulcers for people who keep extended-wear lenses in overnight is 10 to 15 times greater than for those who use daily-wear lenses only while awake.
Remember that the great majority of problems with contact lenses are due to improper cleaning, handling, or wearing schedules.
If the lenses should ever chip or crack, don't wear them.
Make sure your hands are clean before removing your contact lens'. Failure to do so can result in foreign bacteria getting into your eyes and causing an infection.
Do check your contact lens solution's label to see how long you can store your contact lenses. The amount of time a solution will remain effective varies between manufacturers.
Don't forget to use disinfecting solution to clean your contact lens case. Leaving even a drop or two of tap water in your case could allow bacteria to accumulate.
Don't wear your contact lenses if your eyes are red or irritated. If there's an eye infection, using your lenses will only worsen the problem.

It is not recommended to put contacts in after using sulfacetamide. The recommendation is to wait at least a full 15 minutes before putting contacts into the eyes after using sulfacetamide.

Cheaper contacts depending on who they are made by can put your eyes at risk. According to the website The Sun, someone almost died due to fungus in cheap contacts. They spent 17 weeks in the hospital after this. So cheaper contacts are not as safe as other contacts.
If you put them in wrong, can cut like a paper cut if you really really do it wrong.
Yes, because her eyes are blue and Bella's eyes are brown.
Glasses. Definatley. My friend had contacts when she was a kid, and she said it was a nightmare. She couldn't put them on without scratching her eyes, and when they were finally on, they had smudges all over them. Glasses are better.
