Hello, all- I'm Becky. I'm 16 years old but wise far beyond my years, so hopefully you can expect some good advice from me. I'm not here to spit out cutesy answers to every single question- I won't be a bitch, but I'll be sure to tell it like it is. Just accept it, and consider less-than-sweet answers as tough love. :]advice
Hey,
I'm 16 and I want to try contact lenses. My optician says it's all OK. I was just wondering if anyone had any really good/bad experiences with contact lenses they could tell me about, or if there are tips any of you might have? Are they really weird to get used to? I have a real thing about touching my eyes, I don't like it at all. Will I find this really difficult? What happens if you can't get it out?
i've had contacts for 2 years ive had them since i was 11. it was pretty weird at first to touch my eyes, but i got used to it.
its not that hard to put them in once you get used to it. when i first got mine the doctor spent 1/2 an hour showing me how to put them in, and that helped a lot. most places do this for free but if you have to pay, you could just have a friend whos been wearing contacts for a while show you.
you'll be able to get it out. at that little help session, they showed me how to get the contact out too. all you do is slide it to the side of your eye, and then pull it out. it also, even if people say it can, can NOT get stuck behind your eye. it can get stuck, but it happens very rarely.
i have tips:
1) If possible, get Daily contacts. They hurt a lot less, and if you lose/break one, its not as bad because it was only for that day.
2) If your perscriptions for your eyes aren't exactly the same, but they are only like .25 apart, just get the smallest. for instance, if you have 3.00, and 3.25, just get 3.00 for both eyes, because that will make it easier to remember which one goes in which eye.
hope i helped sorry this answer is SOOO long lol ♥
