This is the person who would flip whenever the eye doctor so much as came near my eyes, so I know exactly what you're talking about. It took me two separate tries and almost a year to actually get contacts, and when I got them I had to have the ones you leave in for a week because I couldn't touch my eyes every day. For the first several weeks, I kept having to go back to the eye place and have the lady there take them out and put them in for me. I think wearing contacts for so long has made my eyes less sensitive, though, because now they don't hardly tear up at all when something gets in them...which can be a good or a bad thing. It's been almost 8 years and I've gotten the hang of it, but trust me, it did not come naturally. Don't feel bad...and don't give up! If I can do it, so can you.
