Ok, I'm getting contacts really soon. The problem is, I have this little fear of things going in my eye. I have practiced so many times trying to put them in, but I always subconciously close my eye and I can never get them in all the way. What am I supposed to do to get over this? I really want to wear these contacts, but I'm so scared putting them in!
Mercy_x_Me answered Sunday October 3 2004, 10:22 pm: first off, before you try, really think of all the advantages. No big fat glasses in the way -- pretty outlook... etc.
now after this encouragement you gotta try. Practice on a night where your not busy ((like you have 2 hours free to just do anything)) read the directions, and stare at the ceiling. Maybe this isnt bad but practice putting on Mascara, if you can get that close to your eye putting in a contact is closer yea, but still!!!! GL!!!
Angie answered Sunday October 3 2004, 10:13 pm: I was the exact same way but after awhile like 3 days got used to them and I no evey 1 is differnt but it probably wont be that hard for you since I was totally freaked about them going under my eye but I lived! It also helps me that my older bro has contacts too so if I need help or advice on something about my contacts hes there!

I think its like a reflex or something that ue eye closes, but im not positive eother way ull get the hang of if eveutally with a lot of practice. Hope that helps :) [ XxRockon's advice column | Ask XxRockon A Question ]
neanea282 answered Sunday October 3 2004, 8:42 pm: ok i think i can help. i wear contacts and i had the same problem. whenever you are putting them in try to keep your eye open as long as it takes you to get it in and when you get it in what i do is rub the contact around in your eye in little circles and then center it in the middle of your eye. just keep practicing if you dont get it try again. try to keep your head as still as possible. if you still cant get it get your mom to help you. sorry if i didnt help. i tried my best.

i_need_help_69 answered Sunday October 3 2004, 8:30 pm: i understand your problem, i too wear contacts and i had the same problem, the best way to overcome your fear is to get a guy to stick his penis in your eye.......... problem solved!!!!

BlackAngel answered Sunday October 3 2004, 8:19 pm: Hey, no worries. I was the same way when I first got mine! It does pass, I promise. For about a week, I actually had my mom put them in for me, but the trick to that is holding your head still! If you have someone put them in your eyes for you, no matter how much you want to, you HAVE to keep your head still, and let them put the contact in. If it helps, and try both, try looking right at the contact as they/you try to put it in or when they're doing it, look at their face instead of the contact.
Best of luck, and contacts are super nice! [ BlackAngel's advice column | Ask BlackAngel A Question ]
naimee answered Sunday October 3 2004, 8:05 pm: Lol, I have the same problem. Well I did. Just go for it. It's definitely going to be scary, and the scariest part is just putting it in there. It depends what brand you have. If you have Tru-Clear or Freshlook then stick to your eye really fast if you just put them right, they suction just right then and there, but sometimes it takes like the 2nd or 3rd try to get em in. Now that I have contacts I'm not afraid to even put eyedrops in by myself. Its cool. But good luck.. If you have any questions, jus drop something in my box, I'll help you if u need any help.. or im me (NaInErZzZ) good luck neways!
