Can you wear contacts lenses ,if you don't like to stick your finger in your eye?

I have leary about touching my eye ,could I still wear contacts?

If you want to wear contacts desperately enough, you will learn to place them on your cornea. Some doctors will give you drops the first week to deaden the cornea (which has little feeling anyway) so that you don't feel yourself putting the lens in and can get used to the sensation of approaching your eyeball with a foreign object.

When I was dispensing contacts, it seemed like females got accustomed to their lenses a lot easier than males. I theorized it was because they are already accustomed to putting mascara and stuff on their eyeLIDS so placing a lens on the cornea wasn't as foreign to them

I am phobic about needles, myself, but as a diabetic, I have had to learn to check my glucose so I would reiterate that it will depend on how badly you want to wear contacts. If you want it bad enough, you'll overcome your aversion. If you don't, you won't.

you can still wear contacts, but you are still going to have to stick your finger in your eye ....

try getting the kind that you can waer for a few weeks, that way you don't have to do it as often.

You don't stick your finger in your eye when you wear contacts. The lens pretty much jumps off your finger onto your eyeball. They also have a device you can use. See your eye doc and they will let you try contact lenses right in the office so you can see if you think they will work for you.

You DO NOT need to stick your hand in your eye. I don't know where you heard that from. You only put it near your eye and the lense will practically jump into your eye.

You won't even know you're wearing soft ones and you'll quickly get over the "stick your finger in your eye" phobia.

You only need to get close to your eye to put the lenses ON, but in order to take them out, you will have to touch your eye. When I wore lenses, before I got Lasik, I would just slide the lens to the side of my eye and then remove it, however in order to wear them, you will need to get more comfortable with touching your eye.

Before I started wearing contacts, I thot I would never be able to get them in. I remember it took me quite awhile to get them in the first several times, but now it takes just a few seconds. It's something you get used to. Your eye doctor will help you on how to put them in and after some practice and if you're willing to try you can easily get contacts in.

Don't worry. Contact lenses are a miracle! You can bearily feel them. Your eye doctor usually requires you to take a lesson about wearing and putting in contact lenses.
It's easy. You just hold the lense at the tip of your index finger and take it up to your eye, pull your bottom eye lid down and it will basically fall into place by it's self. It's nothing big! I think people have told your false tales. Talk to your doctor, and he can also help you feel more comfortable.
Good luck.

ok, everyone who's saying the lens practically jumps onto your eye i want to know which contacts your using. i got mine yesterday. they dont do that. basically yeah, you can get them but you need to be able to stick your finger in your eye. your finger doesnt touch your eye though, the contact is over it. good luck :-)
