It takes a while to get adjusted to wearing contacts. I had worn eyeglasses since I was 18 months (1-1/2) so my eyes had been protected from particles and dust for years. I think that the only eyelashes had been in my eyes. Putting the contacts in was difficult at first. The doctor showed me how and then had me practice. I used a small mirror on my desk to see what I was doing. I put the lens on the index finger of my right hand, closed my left eye, held my right eye open with left index and right middle fingers, looked up and toward my nose, and stuck the lens in my right eye. I repeated the process for my left eye. It felt very uncomfortable, but after a week or two I was wearing my lenses for most of the day. Here is a tip: don't look at your finger as it is coming toward your eye. It makes you want to blink. Look up and toward your nose and put the lens on the bottom part of your eyeball. It takes practice. Make sure you wash your hands, sit down at a desk or table with a napkin or paper towel, and away from a fan or air conditioning. Good luck.
