I’m frustrated with wearing glasses but not quite ready to try contacts. Are there any tips or tricks that can help make putting in contacts easier?
Getting used to wearing contacts can be a bit challenging at first, but there are definitely some tips and tricks that can make the process easier:
Practice with a Mirror: Start by practicing putting the lenses in while looking in a well-lit mirror. This will help you see exactly what you’re doing.
Stay Calm: Take a few deep breaths before you start. Being relaxed will make it easier to put the contacts in.
Use the Right Technique: Hold your eyelid open with one hand while using your dominant hand to place the lens in. Keep a grip on your lash line to prevent blinking.
Check Your Lenses: Make sure your contact lenses are right-side-up by checking their shape. A properly positioned lens will look like a bowl, while a flipped lens will have a more flat appearance.
Keep Them Moist: Make sure your lenses are properly lubricated with solution. If they’re dry, they can be difficult to insert.
Try Different Times of Day: Some people find it easier to put in lenses at different times (like in the morning vs. evening) based on their comfort levels.
Use Eye Drops: Before trying to insert your lenses, use some lubricating eye drops to make your eyes comfortable and help prevent dryness.
Be Patient: It may take a few attempts to get used to it. Don’t get discouraged—practice makes perfect!
Seek Professional Guidance: If you’re struggling, don’t hesitate to ask your eye care professional for tips. They can offer personalized advice and may even allow you to practice in their office.
With time and practice, you’ll likely find that inserting contacts becomes much easier. Good luck!
