Fucking contact lenses!

I've had these pieces of shite for about 4 days, and two have already gone missing and needed replacing. Put them on your eye, they fall off.. and disappear from fucking time/space. Seriously, I had a sink specifically set up to catch the little fuckers and they still dissafuckingpear. There is not enough space in my tiny, tiny bathroom for things to just wander off. Fuckers.

I'm going back to glasses, these little fucks just raise your hopes.

Yah, mine took about 20 minutes to get in this morning. They take a lot of getting used to.

I've had them for about a year, and I remember only once where they fell out and that was like in the first week. But only once, and luckily I had my case with me.

But I used expired liquid crap, so one of my pairs got all wrinkled up and there goes 1 month ;_;

Contacts are about 50-50 whether you will be able to get used to them or not. Some people are really good at putting them in and some people have trouble with them.

Contacts are very, very sensitive to outside influences, like dirty hands. As long as you are taking extra care, and are feeling comfortable when placing them, you should have no problems.

If wearing contacts was for aesthetic purposes then I recommend getting frameless, thin and light lenses.

OP here, contacts are for sports, so thin glasses aren't really an alternative.

I found it after a 40 minute search, btw.

My doctor gave me a trial pair of contacts, and I tried as hard as I could to get them in my eyes, but they just wouldn't go :( A bunch of my contact-wearing friends and my parents all tried teaching me, but for some reason, it just never stuck to my eye.

So here I am, still wearing irritating, obstructive glasses.

you can buy those ridiculous goggle looking sports glasses

I have no problems with my contacts I can put them on in 2 minutes. The only annoyance I have is they tear easily especially now in cold weather.

It is a bitch to put them on first, but you should be able to get used to them.

Wash your hands throughly before you put them on. Make sure they are not inside out, and hydrate them in plenty of contact lens buffer.

One of the best things about contacts is that after a while you find that your eyes are actually pretty tough, and not the fragile glass like thing that you have always imagined.

I wore then without incident for 2 years (during which time they only fell out once), but this third year...I don't know what the hell's goin' on. I think the lense manufacturer fucked up my left eye prescription, because I can barely go a day without it screwing up and needing removal. I need to crack open a fresh box that I know is correct, but I've got 3 months worth of lenses just sitting out and I don't want to up and trash 'em. I wonder if they take returns on opened lenses -_-

I use hard plastic lenses because my eyes are fucking retarded. Doctor said they would be alot more uncomfortable than ordinary lenses, but I dont really give a shit, I dont want to use glasses.

I dont know if its because I'm asian or because the lenses are of this type, but I never have problems losing them or putting them in/out. They fit, and if they actually get off the eye, its just moved to another side in the eye and you can push it back

The are bastards when you lose them, but I suppose it's a helluva lot better than losing your specs...

You can get sports grips, like an elastic band that keeps your specs held on, or the ugly sports goggles, which take pissing ages to make, and are generally designed for ski-ers.

Contacts sit on the tear fluid that keeps your cornea moist, but some people get very dry eyes, due to external things like weather or generally not producing enough tear fluid.

You try telling someone with acute keratitis their eye isn't fragile. Eyes are really VERY fragile, people forget about them because they take them for granted.

Depending on where you got them depends on whether you can have the lenses rechecked. If you aren't happy with the service, or the lenses take them back and ask for a free replacement. Most places are able to do that for you, and prescribing you the wrong dioptre, or giving you the wrong dioptre by accident can be even worse for your eyes.

Indeed the hard plastic lenses are more uncomfortable,but they are stronger, much stronger.

When I first got contacts I needed about 20 minutes to put them in. It was ridiculous.
The trick is to calm down and to do everything properly.
Wash your hands, make sure there are no lints on your hands from the towel, take contacts, make sure they don't stick to your finger and then just slightly stretch your eye open, put them in, make sure the stick to your eyes, blink slowly, close your eyes and press them tight (to remove the air that may be trapped under the lense
dry your hands/face and repeat for the other eye

oh and you may wanna get a small mirror that you can put on your desk so you can do everything horizontally. Made things ten times easier for me because the lenses used to fall from my finger when I tried to put them in vertically.

The first month is the hardest, I need 2 minutes or less to put them in now.

Just stick to it OP, it's worth it. Although my eyes get somewhat dry in winter with contacts on.

I've got contact lenses for a couple of years. best thing i ever got. But I don't have any problems getting them in or out. I'm able to do it easily out camping in the forest without mirror or anything. But i have one-day contacts, so i throw them away each night and get new ones in the morning. Costs maybe 30% more, but way more useful.
My eyes are a bit dry with contacts in, especially in the evening, so driving late at night without my glasses in back-up is risky...

OP here, I'm a fencer, so any sort of glasses will bash against the mask.
