Contacts

Post by SexyLittleDoll »

Yesterday, I got contacts for the first time.. I was REALLY excited.. because I have wanted to get them for forever .. but I just haven't had time to get them.. and I just don't like wearing glasses so I don't because they make me look goofy.. well anyways.. this morning I couldn't get them in.. I was freaking out and all upset and everything.. I couldn't stop shaking and I was crying which made it worse. Then when I finally got them in .. I put the one in wrong and it was really hurting. So my question is .. is it going to get any easier for me or should I just give up? :crying:

noooo do not give up. I've had contacts for two years.. and believe me, it gets easier. It took me about 30 minutes to put in each one the first time... it was SO hard.. and i couldn't get them out.. i was FREAKING out.. Now i put them in within 2 seconds each and same with taking out..



Just make sure you wash your hands, that your contact solution is clean, and that its the right way- you can look... it usually has the "1 2 3" on it... or its more curved when its the right way- And make sure the contact is clean too... good luck..



dont freak out.. even though i did too... lol :D

it gets easier and you'll get more used to them over time, i've worn contacts forever so it's no big and they're much better than glasses, although i still wear my glasses once in a while. congrats on getting the contacts though.

If you need a friend

Try not to find one who sets the trend

Look for someone who indeed

Has a different sort of creed

Someone who loves you like a brother

Someone who shows you to care for oneanother

Look for a friend who knows you

Someone to be there for you

Look for someone who loves

Someone who prays to the one above

You won't ever have to be alone again

Because you have your friend

And your friend has you

Which is truly a different view

It will get soo much easier! When i first had them, it took me 10 min. to get one in!! I was soo paranoid and like examinited it soo much for hair or dust! Now (after almost a two years) i can put them in in like 10 sec...i can do it w/o a mirror...Don't give up! They are soo the best!

when I first got my contacts I couldn't get them in at all, I went back to the optomitrist and they told me make sure the finger you are using to put the contact in is completely dry because contacts like moisture. After about a year there was another morning I couldn't get it in and I actually had an eye exam that day they checked it out and it was defective, so once you get used to putting them in if you cant get it in it might not be you!! :) Keep trying they rock!!! :D

I know that time wont change a thing

If we're all moving in slow motion

It's hard to catch up

When the world is weighing you down



Tomorrow is always a brand new day.



You're the one thats always there

You make me smile like no one else

When you cry I want to die

And when you hold me,

I get all choked up inside



I love Chad.

Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they've been given, than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossibloe is not a fact, it's an option/ Impossible is not a declaration, it's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary

Ofcourse it will get easier! Don't be silly! :P



They're just hard for the first few times, trust me. It'll be ok soon. You get the hang of it. :)

My friend (you know who you are...KBEL!) has wasted like, 392920 appointments with the opticians because she can't get her contacts in. I told her to give up. But she hasn't, so nor will you.
