Hey guys, Dlew12 here. Got contact lenses today. I have kind of small eye openings and it took me prolly an hour to get them in the first time. It was a pretty miserable experience. Eyes watering everywhere.
Will it get better or is this whole little project doomed to fail? Can't spend an hour every morning shoving these damn things in my face. Some one tell me it's all going to be okay.
Hey Dlew12...hang in there, man. DNR this thread, because I
had worn contacts since I was about 11 years old (I'm 25 now) thus I'm an
expert in wearing, storing, and trouble shooting contacts.
Practice makes perfect. You will get better at placing the lens on your eyes. It takes a lot of getting used to. Just wait until the contact decides to slide up your eye and you have to dig it out from under the brow. It sucks and it hurts, but it's part of the deal and it will happen.
You will learn the duration for which contacts are good. For instance, you can't always just wear them for 12 hours and expect your vision to be crystal clear. You will get halos around points of light. The lenses will dry out. When they do it feels extremely painful and you'll want to gouge your eyes out. Sleeping in them? Not for beginners. Another thing to think about is contact solution. There are different brands. Some brands work for different people better than others. Some people are allergic to certain brands.
I could go on, but I won't. I had LASIK about 3 weeks ago and don't have to worry about this crap anymore. I'd recommend it to anyone that has really bad vision. However, contacts served me well for a long time. They are a great alternative to glasses and that's why millions of people wear them.
Let me know if you have any Qs. Again,
I am an expert
