Congrats!
Don't give up... just keep practicing and you'll get the hang of it.
I agree with the Acuvue. I've been wearing them since I was 15 years old. My ophthalmologist recommended that I take them out nightly and clean and disinfect them just like daily wear lenses, and said that I could use them for a month that way, and that it's healthier. (You might want to ask your doctor about that.) But I'm lazy
so I just wear them for 2 weeks straight, then toss them. I try to arrange it so that I can wear my glasses the following day to give my eyes a rest before putting in the new pair of contacts.
