Contact lenses

[espio100]

I got them.
And I've been trying for 3 days already. How the hell do I put these forgeters in?
Either they keep sticking to my fingers or just bend double in my eye when I blink.

Nice ambiguity.
Show us (via diagram, please) how you're putting them in. And I think they are supposed to stick to your fingers so you can lift them easily

Diagram?
Anyways I usually put the lens between my index and middle finger because that works best. I look up and put the piece of stuff on my eye. Wiggle a bit with my fingers so it keeps on my eye. Roll my eye a bit and than blink to get it in place. But when I blink it rolls double somehow.

use one finger and look up at the ceiling while gently placing it in

I would like contacts, since I think I look better without glasses.

But, I'm scared to put things in my eye (can't even do eye-drops properly), and the worry of getting dirt in my eye puts me off.

honestly this, I only wear my glasses when absolutely needed

I used to do that, but got so fed up of having to stop and take my glasses out and put them on in class at school, and take them off again.
And it's all the more awkward when you're out and about and need to stop to put them on.

So I wear mine all the time now.
I can go without wearing them, but I feel funny without them on, on account of habit.
I'll periodically try to push them back up my nose even though they're not there.

Tried using one finger. End up sticking to my finger, not my eye.
With 2 fingers I get atleast one step closer and actually getting it on my eye.

You'll have to get used to putting things on your eyes.
I know people with contact lenses who can just simply touch their eye with their finger without even blinking.
Kinda freaky.

The forget does "bend double" even mean

Bending in half.

Bending in half.

I'm no expert but I'm fairly certain that "double" is the literal opposite of "half". If that is legitimately what it means then whoever came up with that expression should be shot

I use one hand to keep the eye open and the finger of other to put it in. You can usually tell when it's stuck to your eye when you hear a little sound. It's really hard to describe but if you just keep trying to put it in directly on the iris you'll get the hang of it eventually. Took me forever too

I've had contacts for 9 years. I normally put them in with one finger, don't think I've ever tried with two fingers lol.

You should try with a fist.
