contact care.?

Question

hey. im wearing contacts for the first time. i want to know the way to take care of them. i might not wear them that often, so that should also be taken into account. also, can you try explaining how to wear them. i can put them in sometimes but sometimes it takes a really long time. thanks

theyre colour contacts. no prescription. my eye doctor is my uncle n he did let me try it on and i was fine, but i kinda forgot. i mean i can put it in, but then when i close my eyes, they fold. and thats annoying.
about the taking care thing, i dont expect to wear it too often. i was thinking only special occasions. i would prefer not to wear them to school cuz i have long days at school. i was wondering like how often do i change the solution if i havent used them? and when do i clean it properly n when do i just rinse it? n just stuff like that. just general stuff i should know about taking care of contacts. and i kinda want people to try n explain how they wear their contacts. like "step 1, take your middle finger and pull down your lower lid. step 2, put the lens in. etc" thanks

Answer 1

I wear mine all the time. Your eye doctor should have let you practice putting them in in the office and assured that you knew how to do it properly. He is required by law to teach you how.

I put the clean lens curve side up, on my index finger and lightly touch it to the center of my eye. It just adheres to the eye.

The only thing you really need to know is to keep them clean. I buy the Equate brand (Walmart) on Multi-Purpose solution. This cleans, disinfects and moisturizes.

Always wash and dry your hands before handling your lens. Never use water on your lens. Every time you take them out, put them in fresh solution. You will probably want to wear them all the time if you do these things. Email me if you have any questions.

Answer 2

you will get used to taking them in and out. its good that you might not wear them that often, especially if you have sensitive eyes. first, dont sleep in them. second, dont sit in front of the tv or computer for long periods of time in them. also, if you wear them in the shower, dont take them out of your eyes right after, cuz they will stick to your eyes. one more thing, make sure the contacts and your hands are clean, when putting them in, cuz a hair or eyelash or dirt, or anything burns like the dickens, good luck, and enjoy them
