It depends on how much it costs. It will probably hurt when you first try them on. When I first got them they had me put them on while I was there and it hurt. But you will get use to them. It doesn't really hurt taking them off. Your doctor will probably pick out which ones you should use and which ones would be better for you. Every two weeks I need to change my contacts and that can be a drag but I don't know which ones you are getting. Its not too bad though. I love wearing contacts better than glasses. They will show you how to put them on and so on. I hope this helped you a little.

I won't repeat what you've already gotten.
I do recommend Acuvue Oasis, unless you need throwaway lenses. They kind of suck. My boyfriend needs them for work, but they pop out a lot. ANd they dry out really quickly compared to some others (if you forget to blink for whatever reason, they get uncomfortable)
If your eyes burn when you first put in contacts, you're probably sensitive to the solution you're using. Switch brands until it doesn't sting/burn anymore.
If you need anything else just ask, I've worn contacts for about a year now.

The eye doctor will probably start you out on soft lenses. I think my lenses costed about $100, but then again, that will vary depending on whether or not you have health insurance, and what type of health insurance you have.
As for putting them in and taking them out... It doesn't hurt or anything, it's just that putting them in might be a little awkward at first because you have to get used to sticking a foreign object in your eye. If you want, you can ask the doctor if one of the nurses will assist you while you put in your lenses for the first time. (They did this for me and I didn't even have to ask. I'm sure they wouldn't mind.)
My doctor gave me a schedule to wear my contact lenses. When you first start wearing them, you might only be able to have them in your eye for a few hours. Over the next several weeks you'd wear them for a little bit longer each day, until your eyes build a tolerance to the lenses and you can wear them comfortably all day.
The most common problem that I experienced was eye dryness. Ask your doctor what type of eyedrops he would recommend.
And lastly... Once you've put the actual lense in your eye, here is a tip to help them 'stick.' Look up, down, and from side to side. Good luck!
