    You deserve a standing ovation! I bought lenses and was being trained in putting them on by the shop's optometrist. I visited her twice yet i was not able to put them on even after 20 unsuccessful attempts and she got really irritated with me and said that I'd never be able to use them. I came home and tried putting them on by her way and still was not able to. I thought i am the one doing it wrong and got really sad after trying hard numerous times. Then i just surfed video tutorials and found yours, watched it and tried..and voila! They were on the iris right in the first attempt. Not even a min passed by. Thank you so so so much! If it weren't for you, it would not have happened.

      I had a similar experience with my first trails. I got them in ok, using the guy's instructions, but then I couldn't pinch them out. Sat there for a good 10-20 minutes, trying not to cry. Luckily, he let me go home with them in under the promise that if it took me 5 hours, those things would come out. I searched "how to remove contact lenses" and found a great youtube video by this girl with really long nails about using your eyelids to pinch the lens out. So easy.

      +// Popkrull // There's more to vision than near-sightedness. Corneal dystrophy can affect vision and make u very sensitive and red-eyed. That's what I have, and that's what she probably meant. Light-sensitive people (photophobia) need to be warned to find a RARE Optometrist with equipment that photographs corneas. Often Opto's have what Ophthal's don't bother with. Most don't care enough. I wish she were in my locale.

    I just got contacts yesterday. I have very long, thick eyelashes, which is usually a blessing but was a curse in this situation. The contacts would catch on my lashes, fold, or turn inside out. I tried holding my upper eyelid in place, but my eye would reflexively try to blink and I couldn’t get the contacts in. I wasn’t scared to put them in, it was just really hard when my lashes were in the way. It took forever to get them in at the doctor’s office.
    I tried again today, fully expecting to be there for 30 minutes. I curled my upper eyelashes to keep them out of the way, then did what you said (holding only the bottom eyelid open, putting the contact on the side of your finger, and un-focusing the eye), and within two minutes, I had both of them in! Thank you SO much for this video. You are a life-saver (or eye-saver).

    • @tigertailave2394
      @tigertailave2394 8 лет назад +1

      B9King937 It works, but I personally have a lot more trouble taking them out than putting them in. I drag it away to the corner of my eye, and when the lens is out of place and folds slightly, I pinch it and take it out. But sometimes the lens just doesn't want to come out and by the time I remove them, my eyes are a little red. If it's just not working and you're getting frustrated, take a couple minutes' break and try again.

    • @B9King937
      @B9King937 8 лет назад

      Samantha Fee Yeah, someone just responded to me on this comment section saying you still need to pinch them to take them out. It's tough because I drag it down, but the moment you take your finger off it slides back up.

    this video is super easy to understand and super helpful. My eye doctor was amazed by this technique and never has seen it before! You did an amazing job explaining how it's done. And it's true, if I grab my upper eyelid, it wants to shut itself immediately and creates a huge struggle to put the contact in. THE STRUGGLE IS REAL! But this video tutorial eliminates that struggle. Thank you for this video.

    At my 1st contact trial appt, could I hell as like get them near my eye the way they were trying to show me by pulling your top lid open etc, apparently the usual way. Came away feeling so stupid and defeated I couldnt get something so simple near my eye due to a stupid fear of anything being near them.
    Thought to myself there cant just be 1 way or no way, so looked on good ole youtube and your vid was the 1st to pop up. Even trying without contacts finally a way to get a finger near my eye without a major panic and my eyelid wanting to clamp shut on it. Called my opticians to ask them to help me this way at next appt. Apparently none of them found it easier! Me, within a few mins got the 1st one in, then the 2nd, fanbloodytastic! Took them out as shown in the vid too as youve to practice taking them out n putting back in and it was so easy. I have long lashes and really couldnt do it the way you are normally shown but this vid has saved me from giving up and never being able to try contacts. Thank you so much x

I went back the next day; same results. Finally saw this video, went back after the weekend was over and showed her that I did actually have the "guts" to do this.

I was SO unsuccessful, they wouldn’t let me take lenses home and I had to make another one hour “training” appointment. First off, I know this is going to sound mega stupid, but I struggled for 5 minutes each time I tried, to get the lenses out of the blister pack. Then you come along and dump it into your hand solving my first problem! Secondly, I have had a brow lift and for whatever reason, that contortionist move of having your arm draped across your forehead, it just didn’t work for me! My skin is tight and nothing I did allowed me to hold my upper eyelid open. I cannot wait to go back on Tuesday and try your method. I’m really excited and I know it will work!! THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart!!! 💜

    This is great!

Found your video right after that ordeal, took them out again, cleaned them, and with your technique I had the left lens in from the first try, the right lens in a few minutes after a couple of tries, what a difference! This is a clever way of getting your eyes to open up naturally and create space to stick the lens onto the eye without forcing anything. Plus, you can actually see what you're doing! Thank you so much for sharing these vastly superior techniques!!! :-)

    I had somewhat success with the traditional method, but the fastest I could do it was 16 minutes. Some days I even knew I wouldn't wear contacts because I maybe had a lot to do and putting my contacts on top of that made it so stressful that I would just have a mental block and not function properly.
    With this method it took me 2 minutes AT MOST to put them on. A real life saver! Thank you very much for showing us this way of doing it.

    I was trying from the last 3 days to put in my contacts. I almost gave up and was about to throw away the lens then this video popped up in my feed.
    I am able to put in my contacts under a minute after watching this. I can't thank you enough.

    Even though it's 2020 and this video isn't hd quality this legit helped me so so much. Thank you!
