Yo mate. Fellow contact lens user here. Some tips for ya'

- During your free-time, spend time practicing on putting them on and taking them off, that worked for me.
- If you can't get them on, just put more of the solution. If you find it difficult to handle in your fingers, try buying a harder lens on your next purchase.
- Taking them out is utter pain. You have to get used to it. What I do is blink a lot to moisten my eyes, then with three fingers on each hand, lock the eye open, then with the index+thumb of your preferred hand, gently squeeze your eyeball to take the lens out. I know it sounds brutal but after 3 weeks or so you'll get used to it.
- Again, practice hurting your eyes. Tapping your eyeballs with a clean finger can help you get used to the pain.

Contacts are painful, but pain is something you have to get used to. All it takes is raw patience. I know how you feel, 2nd day on my contacts I was ready to give up :L but after around 5 weeks I got used to putting them on without facing a mirror and even while on a moving car. ;) Contact lenses ftw.

I was like you at the beginning. It's time for bed...and can't pinch the damn things out.

I personally slide them out. Put your finger on it, and drag it down to the bottom of your eye and keep pressing until it rolls up a bit. Don't worry, your eye is sealed, so it won't go behind your eye :L. When it rolls, just grab it gently and take it out. I never mastered the pinching method everyone else uses.

You'll get used to it quickly: just takes a few seconds for me now. Just make sure you always wash your hands and make sure there is no dust on them.

Not as horrible as glasses...



Only black guys can pull off glasses.



When they wear them they look intelligent, but anyone else just looks like a nerd.  :'(

I was wondering why Flopster kept ramming me and I asked him but he said he didn't ram anyone. Now I understand he didn't have his lenses in :D

i don't like the idea of my cornea being cut open :-X
i think when (or if) i have laser surgery it'll be LASEK which has no "flap" :) but takes longer to heal and hurts more :(
will read and answer your forum PMs when I'm less busy!

You should only get laser if your prescription stops changing (and older people probably have deteriorating eyesight anyway) so it can be a waste on the wrong person.

I hope my prescription stops changing so I can go laser.
