How to wear Contact Lenses??

I have worn glasses all my life, and when I first tried contacts found it to be a horrible experience, I could not even touch my eye.

I have always had a wierd thing about eyes and touching or injury.

So does anyone know ways of harmlessly working my way up to less sensitivity towards eyes, touching etc. So that I can wear contacts.

... Read moreMaking the switch from glasses to contact lenses can be challenging, especially if you have a sensitivity to touching your eyes. Here are some helpful tips to make the process smoother: 1. **Start Slow**: Begin by sitting in front of a mirror and using your fingers to practice touching the area around your eyes. This helps build confidence before you actually try inserting lenses. 2. **Use Artificial Tears**: Keeping your eyes hydrated can reduce discomfort. Using artificial tears helps to keep your eyes moist before and after you insert your contacts. 3. **Choose the Right Lens**: Consult your eye care professional to find the type of contact lens that best suits your needs. Some lenses are designed for sensitive eyes or for extended wear. 4. **Practice Good Hygiene**: Always wash your hands thoroughly before handling your lenses to prevent infections. This is crucial in ensuring your eyes remain healthy during the adjustment phase. 5. **Take Breaks**: Start by wearing your lenses for short periods and gradually increase wear time as you become more comfortable. 6. **Focus on Relaxation**: Before inserting the lenses, take a moment to relax. Anxiety can increase sensitivity, so deep breathing or calming music may help. Lastly, remember that everyone’s experience is different, and it’s perfectly normal to have initial difficulties. Don't hesitate to reach out to your eye care professional for personalized advice!

Hello again, just keep your hands clean 🧼 & when touching your faces or eyes 👀, use a tissue at all times… buy a contract sol. w/moisture in it….
