Ive had glasses since I was three and finally im getting contacts. Im going for an appointment to learn how to properly stick them in and stuff. I know they'll be able to really answer my questions but can anyone who has them tell me what it was like the first few days the had them? Some people told me it was painless, most others said they were in alot of pain & that it burned. I just wanna know so I can be prepared for whatever feeling I get. thanks, I'll rate.
Adri answered Saturday July 16 2005, 4:14 pm: You won't feel a thing! And trust me, I remember: It was only 3 months ago when I first got them in! It won't hurt a bit, and don't listen to other people who are trying to scare you. The only reason it would hurt is if you didn't change the solution. You just have to do that every time you take them out. There would be no reason that it would hurt the first time, or any other time! Good luck, Adri ♥ [ Adri's advice column | Ask Adri A Question ]
Madeline answered Friday July 15 2005, 1:34 am: I really think that it depends on the person if contacts hurt or not. I had contacts, and they were painless. I couldn't feel them at all. On the other hand people disagree, so i really think it has to do with the sensitivity of your eye. So i don't think that i can answer that, but you can find out for yourself. Don't be scared, good luck!

hayza18wayza answered Wednesday July 13 2005, 10:56 pm: I had glasses since 2nd grade and then I finally got contacts last year. I totally hated them at first- they hurt to put it, they wouldn't go in, or I couldn't get them out. I know it sounds horrible. Once you get used to them you will love them! I do! Hope I helped...
southsideboy answered Wednesday July 13 2005, 8:17 pm: The people that say it burns are the people that have been using contacts for about a year and the contacts sometimes like during hot days get overheated and sting your eyes no big. But on regular days it's painless all it feels like is plastic on your eyes with water they're just painless lenses that sometimes overheat that's all I should know i have them for 2 years.

X0C0URT answered Wednesday July 13 2005, 8:00 pm: It feels kinda weird for the first couple of days, but then you get used to it and you can't even feel them. Just make sure you take care of them properly and keep them really clean. It shouldn't burn at all. If it does you have it in wrong. Hope this helps!
