Hi Billy!!
what kind of contacts do you have? RGPS/hard/soft?? I have RGPS and they are a pain in the butt for me--I am very, deftly scared of ANYTHING entering my eyes...very bad, i know
I've had my RGPS for more than a year and still, sometimes i can get so scared and i blink all the time when i'm trying to get it in! So here's some encouragement: don't every give up! Because with practice you'lol get better and better. Sometimes I can put in my contacts in 3 minutes! With RGPs, all you have to do is look straight at the mirror, do NOT blink, and just keep your eyes open.
It's actually really easy, it's just i'm a scaredy-cat
Write back adn tell me if you have RGPs or not, maybe i can help you more
Good luck!
