    I feel a sort of irrational terror and a weird feeling in my eye when it is held open and my finger is approaching. Because of this, I fail to keep it open. I really want contact lenses but its proving to be quite difficult. (I have had 3 hours with an optician so far, got them in and out just a single time. 😢)

    For some of us it doesnt work like that. First of all, if I am trying to put in PRESCRIPTION contacts, its because I CANT SEE UP CLOSE WITHOUT GLASSES! You cant put a contact in your eye while wearing glasses now can you??" Therefore, its common sense that I'm not going to be able to see where the contact is going in at or if I even have my eye open enough! Every one of these type of videos are put on by someone who DOES NOT have problems seeing closeup!

    Dr. Thank you. I fellow all theses. I do my best to clean mine properly. I was told by a retired optometrist that you should never fly in your contacts either. The reason is the pressurized air dries out your eyes more and it can cause redness in your eyes, and it can also make your eyes hurt. I'm sure you knew that cause you're a doctor but I didn't know that. I rotate between my glasses and my contacts. I wear monthways, so there are some time when I go a week with glasses. Just gives the eyes a break
