🟢 Eye QOTD: Have you had any success with contacts? Any ideas or tips of your own for getting lenses in?
@kingk92115 жыл бұрын
I really struggle. The few times I've ever gotten them in I don't struggle with getting them out, it's easy for me. But I really struggle getting them in. Today was my first time re-trying in over a year. I only got to try for about 20 mins and had to go. Did not get them in.

A great tip for people who can't stop blinking: Get SUPER close to the mirror while you're doing it. Literally so close that your nose is touching the glass! It helps because your brain is expecting it to touch your eye much more than if you're further away! I massively struggled with mine until I figured that out. Fixed the blinking problem immediately!

I would like to share my experience as a beginning contacts wearer. I went to 2 training sessions the first one was a disaster. The lens fell on the floor 3 times then I did not have my eyes open enough then I was putting it in too fast. The second training session went perfectly. You have to pull back your eyelashes along with your eyelids and take your time. You also need to have a dry finger to put in the lens or else it sticks to your finger and not your eye. Do not give up, you just need to remain calm and practice, practice, practice. Good luck to anyone else who decides to wear contacts.

Some tips that helped me as a beginner: 1. Keep the lens right on your fingertip for better control. 2. Always check if the lens is the right way out 3. Stand in front of a mirror, pull your lower eyelid down with your non dominant hand and keep it close to the eyelid 4. Tilt your head slightly downwards but keep your eyes on the mirror 5. Put the lens below your iris, on the white part (i noticed that it was harder to put on lenses if i try putting them directly on my iris) and once you close your eye and look around, the lens will automatically be put into place 6. When taking them out, repeat steps 3 & 4 and put your finger on top of the lens (i put it below my pupil because again if i put my finger right in front of my eye it triggers blinking) and then slide the lens downwards. Once it is down on the white part of your eye, pinch the lens and it comes out. Hope i helped!

A tip: when taking lens out of the package use opposite hand’s pointer finger and then place it on to the dominant hand’s pointer finger. This will allow for proper lens direction, dry fingertip, and the the lens will stick to your eye instead of your wet finger. Try it, you may like it. :)

Do not give up. I went from not even being able to touch my eyelid to straight up being confortable putting on both lenses with slight disconfort within 4 days of trying. first it took me 30 minutes just to put the right contact not being able to put in the left one and through practice now it only takes me around 3 mins to get them both in. Key is patience and consistency. Take one step at the time.

My method is to look sideways (towards my nose) and first put the lens on the white part of the eye and then slide it into place. My eyes are super sensitive and I haven’t managed to get contacts straight in like most people do. I use the same method to take them out - slide the lens onto the white part of the eye and pinch it out. Both are time savers for me personally 🙌

Big tips for my blinking squad: position yourself in front of the mirror and rotate your head. You should see yourself in a 3/4 profile. The direction you turn your head depends on which eye you're putting the lens in: that eye should be the one more distant from the mirror. Now look at your reflection and follow this guy's instructions - but with this position you can apply the lens from the side on the white part without covering your pupil with anything. I found it helps me control my blinking reflex immensly. Before no matter what even if I gripped my eyelids Clockwork Orange style I still blinked like crazy, now I can put it on with (almost) ease. Same method for taking them out: same position, with your index finger try sliding it to the external side, once it's on the side, the curvature of your eye should allow you to take it off, also that point of the eye is the least sensible and shouldn't trigger your blinking reflex as bad. Hope this helps someone!

okay I've been wearing lenses for 6 years now and I didn't know people actually straight up out it on their iris. My method to make it easy and simple (please do try this ) take your lense on your finger then look to the side so your iris at the corner of your eye (doesn't have to be at the very end or anything) now put the lense in white portion of your eye. and when you look straight ahead it'll just fit into place . You can close your eyelid after just to make sure it's "secure". This honestly is the easiest way.

It worked! After trying and failing repeatedly and finally giving up, I watched the video today and successfully got both contacts in in under 5 tries. Sooooo happy. The best tips for me were 1. Holding eyelid up from the eyelashes (I was just grabbing the upper lid and not getting enough eyeball exposed to land the contact) and 2. Looking straight down into a mirror vs. head on. Freedom from glasses achieved-Thank you!!

Took me around 30-40 mins to get them in, I was about to give up and gave it another try and I did it. It for sure doesn’t seem hard when you never have tried it, but in practice it’s way harder 😅 but not impossible. Hopefully, with practice I will become better at it. Thank you for the video Dr. Allen🙏🏻

It took me two hours to put my in my right eye lens. It took me five minutes to put in the left lens. The right eye never felt right, and a half hour later I felt the right lens on my eye lids. I bet that while I was putting the lens in my right eye I had it inside out. Thanks for showing us how to check it and how to insert it. Great video. If you are still answering questions on your comments I have one for you. I have presbyopia (old people’s eyes) and have worn progressive lenses for years that progressively got stronger. I use the contacts with one prescription just for playing billiards (clear vision for 42” to 12’ - from one rail to the farthest rail). So onto my question. I think it was about ten years ago, I saw a thirty second clip on the national news one night where a woman was given a shot of distilled water behind the lenses of both eyes for presbyopia. She walked out the doctor’s office fifteen minutes later with no glasses and with perfect vision. The news show never gave a name to the procedure, and I have never heard of it again. Have you heard of it? If so does it have a name, and is it used at all in the US or is it just a European thing?

I have had lenses for 2 years now, but I still have problem with correctly putting them. I can easily put them, but it still takes to me several attempts until they feel comfortable in my eyes. Usually, it happens that when I put them and blink the image seems broken or when I put them my eyes don't feel comfortable, so I need to re-put them until it feels correct and comfortable.

I agree. It's a bit hard to tell when you start wearong contact lenses. Often you can't tell because of the angle you're looking at the lenses so I have to invert the lenses and compare which one is more curvier, which can lead to micro-tearing of the lenses and also sticking more debris and other contaminants to the lens. Bending the lens a little bit to see even IF the edges will curve inwards a LITTLE bit has been a life changer as a new contact wearer.

Holding the very down part of it instead of the skin over or soemwhere else really helps control the movement better, and helps power through that blinking reflex. I find it eye to directly look at my finger with the contact while putting on, and feeling when the finger touches the eyelid to know when it’s likely the contact is on. This video really helped!
