Removing contacts??!!?

is there any good strategies for removing contacts. because im 13, i just got them, and i'm having a hard time with it. anything is good
Answer:
Put your first or middle finger together with your thumb, and "pinch" the surface of your contact lens until it loses suction to your eye. Then you will be able to easily take them out. Try not to look to the side, just look straight ahead. Watch yourself in the mirror so that you can see what you are doing.

I got mine at age 11, and you will be fine with practice :-)

The best thing is to go back to the place you got them from and let them do more teaching with you. Sounds like you might not have been ready for contacts or the did a lousy job of contact lens teaching for you.

I just gently hold my eye open with the left hand and grab it with my right.
It takes a little practice.

Good luck :0)

First and best thing to do is relax.

Using your thumb and pointer finger, hold them sideways to your eye (so that your nails will never come in contact with your eye and make a pinching motion with them.

And remember, as long as your hands are clean and your nails don't touch your eye, it won't be damaged. Grab at the contactfrom the sides of your fingers.

First thing I'd say is cut your nails as short as possible, so you don't scratch your eye. Next, wash your hands. With one hand, "pry" open your eye with one finger on the top lid and one on the bottom portion (I use my thumb). I take my index and thumb from the other hand and pinch the contact. I know that it's really hard to trust even yourself, but it takes practice. I know a friend that swipes her contact towards the middle (towards your nose). Oh and I know people that put lot's of solution (NOT CLEANER) into their eye and "float" it out. Sorry if I was confusing. Good luck and practice!

It took almost 1.5 hours for the doc to put my first set of contacts in. It took almost 3 hours for me to take them out.

I ABHOR touching my eyes. Putting in eyedrops is even a chore.

But over time, it got simple. Easy even. Try the various methods given, and give your own methods a try. I finally settled in looking directly in the mirror, using my thumb to pull the contact to the outside corner of my eye, where I pinched it off my eye.

Give it some time. It DOES get simpler with practice. After a few weeks, I could put in and remove my contacts in seconds.
