I got my trial contacts!

My first contacts were soft, and I've stuck with them. I never had trouble getting them in, but getting them out seems rather difficult. Usually I take two fingertips (index and middle) and sort of bring the edges together and gently pinch the contact so it folds vertically. That seems to be about the only way I can do it.
There's suction cups to take them out with? I'll have to look for, and try, that!

I've never had the pleasure of being able to get contacts soft or hard ones. I have wanted them especially when I was going to school because kids can be cruel..But sounds like it could cause bad eye irritation if your not really careful and end up with a eye infection. If I was You yeah the little suction thing would be best. Less hassle for sure for you and your eye. You were only able to wear them 6 hours? My sister in law wore hers all day..maybe she had different kind but hers was the soft ones. She got a trial pair. But she went back to her regular glasses..well I hope things work out for you.

I have never wore the hard ones but at first i had a lot of trouble with mine i still fine myself putting them in the wrong way just keep doing it and ya will get it

Like you told one of your responders you just need to practice with them. I'm sure you'll get on to removing the contacts in a very short time. Glad to hear you can really see well with them. Good luck and hope you get better at removing them. Stay stubornand it'll work out. Take Care My Friend.

Hi Oreo, sorry to hear you're struggling so much with them but better to begin having a hard time getting them out than to have them popping out all over the place such as in the middle of the street, yes that happened to me, with my friend on the floor looking for it as you'll know it's quite difficult to see properly with one in and one out, whilst I tried to get people to walk round the area.

I started with gas permeables which were the ones that would pop out at will and progressed to soft ones, then gave them up for a while, when I went back to them I had difficulties getting them in so in the end just gave up completley.

Hi Oreo; Sorry to hear of the trouble you've been having getting your new soft contact lenses out! I can imagine the difficulty.
I don't wear contacts but wish I did.
Sometimes. I don't wear my glasses often, only when I want to watch T.V. or when I am driving at night. Glasses really bother me. I think the suction cups thingies would be a good idea for you. Until then maybe start trying to get them out before the six hours is up.. Your daughter sounds very helpful! You will have it mastered in no time. Practice makes perfect and congratulations on the upgrade! Cheers.

I’ve never worn hard contact lenses. I have soft disposable ones; you wear them for two weeks and then throw them away. I have been wearing them for years and I have no trouble touching my eyeball but they did take some getting used to! When I first got them I had to get up half an hour early in the morning so I could get to work on time. You will get used to them, don’t give up; I still need a mirror for mine.

To take them out I just rub my eye and they come out or you could try putting your head in water in the basin but that's not too practical!

I hope it will get easier for you
I know my Daughter took a while to get used to them and work them properly
I don't use them as I only need Glasses for reading Computer and driving
Hugs

oooh be careful oreo,if you use a suction cup you may suck your eye out, LOL, no seriously, i hate contacts of any kind, i prefer to wear my specs because i can just put them on and take them off, i cannot see a thing without them, so i think i am due for an eye test soon, i would love laser eye treatment so i never have to wear specs again, but i could never afford it, i hope your eyes are not too sore, i know what it's like trying to get them critters in and out...good luck with your next try, i hope it gets easier...bless you...

Sorry u are having such a hard time. That is exactly why i never thought i could wear contacts. Hope they get easier for u. Good luck.
