Crazy kids. Sounds to me like you aren't mature enough to wear lenses yet. Just forget about them and start using those glasses again.

wow


It took me absolutely forever to get them in the first time, I just couldnt do it. Then after several days went by I finally was able to get them in, and couldnt get them out that night. I was panicing like you did, but after about 15-20 minutes I managed to get them out and I have never looked back. Its honestly never been easier/better wearing contacts, I will never go without them.

Keep at it, and if you need the practice like take them in/out several times over a short period of time to get accustomed to it, and you'll do just fine.

You needed to use tape to remove your contact? Was it one eye or both?

There's nothing to be afraid of. I've been wearing contact lenses since I was 15. In fact I just switched to a new lense this week. Ciba Night & Days. You just have to remember to keep your lenses moist before taking them out. Just close your eyes for a minute and keep moving your eyes around. Eventually you will feel them move around. That's when they are safe to remove.

Don't let this kid scare you. They are not that bad at all.

Eh, you'll get used to contacts eventually... I had a rough time with mine to begin with but eventually you'll get the hang of them...

If they ever get stuck on just try pinching in different locations of the eye, you'll get lucky and break the suction...
