Is contact lens a medical device?
Yes the contact lens is a medical device and you need a prescription form an eye doctor to order them (especially online).
I had the same problem. Every time I saw the lense coming towards my eye I blinked. I was told to look towards my nose as I looked in a mirror then place the lense on the white part of the eye ball. Once it is set on the white part tilt your head towards the ceiling and close your eye, then with your eyes closed move your eye ball back and forth. This should make the lense move in the right place over your eye. If after doing this, it still doesn't feel right make sure the lense isn't inside out. Once you get used to the feeling it'll become easier. Here's another suggestion from a WikiAnswers contributor:
* When I was putting in my contact lenses it took 2 weeks for them to actually get into my eyes. The tip that helped me was getting really close to the mirror so that I could see exactly where my eyeball and contact lens was. Previously I would just look at the mirror and lift the lens approximately to my eye and suddenly blink. Getting close to the mirror made it much easier because it gave my reflexes the belief that I was not trying to blind myself, but insert a contact lens.
No, floaters are debris suspended in the semiliquid vitreous humor that fills the eyeball, helping maintain it spherical shape. Everyone has some floaters.
Contacts have no effect on the development of floaters (nor do glasses) as they are outside the eyeball thus not in contact with the vitreous humor where the floaters are.
Where can one purchase Total Care saline solution for contact lenses?
Because the TotalCare system is by prescription, saline solution is available at most opticians offices either on site or through ordering via a pharmacy.

The 'grade' you are asking about is the dioptres (units of measurement of sight), which in turn is your optical or ophthalmological prescription. These would be the same regardless of the method of visual correction device, so yes, they are identical.
Why should you avoid wearing contact lenses while working with chemicals?
if a chemical gets into your eye your contact lenses in your eyes will burn. if this happens remove your contacts immediately, clean them and leave them out for the rest of the day. trust me I have contacts
Certain chemicals can evaporate quickly and become airborne, and with gas-permeable lenses, the chemical can become concentrated directly on the eyeball, essentially trapped between the lens and the iris, and burn the surface of the eyes. As well, in the case of potential chemical spills and splashes, some chemicals can melt the polymer plastic used in the contact lens and fuse it to the eye.

The adult should be aware of what they themselves may be projecting to the youth or if the youth has a problem that may be the cause of their behavior.
Asking divergent questions and not adressing the displayed behavior would bode well for the adult.

Agree. Child is displaying typical teenage behavior. Lack of eye contact shows he is definitely not trying to attact or even dominate the situation. It's possible he is using this behavior in an attempt to get in trouble so he can tell someone about his problems.
Is it okay to wear contact lens even your eyes are not yet damaged?
I don't think it is OK to wear contact lenses if your eyes are not damaged because then you don't need them. All they will do is damage your eyes and when you are wearing them you wont be able to see because you need a prescription/its not the right prescription!
Near-sighted means able to see things clearly only when up close, that distant objects are less clear. Another term is "myopia."
In the opposite condition, farsightedness (hyperopia), objects are clearer at a distance than they are up close.
How do you read a prescription?
READING A PRESCRIPTION CORRECTLY YOU JUST HAVE TO MEMORIZE DIFFERENT ABBREVIATIONS USED (most come from Latin). If the doctor writes "sig:" (some DO NOT), that means "these are my directions or instructions" For pills, tabs and capsules it may say: PO (by mouth), ac (before meals), PC (after meals), QD (once a day) BID (twice a day), TID (three times a day), QID (four times a day), at or @HS (at bedtime [hour of sleep]).
FOR DROPS: gtt is drop, gtts is drops, AS is left ear, AD is right ear, AU is both ears.....OS is left eye, OD is right side, OU is both eyes..........PRN is "as needed", as in 1 tab QID PRN pain. There are more, but these are the most used and all I can remember right now!
steps:
1. Wash you hands
2. put the cleaner stuff on your fingers
3. put the contact on your finger inside up so its like a rightside up bowl
4. put more cleaner on the contact
5. with your thumb and first finger stretch your eyelids apart (the hand that is not holding the contact)
5. place the contact on the iris
and do the same to the other !
