I'm getting contacts for the first time so can I have some advice or tips?

Always make sure ur hands are clean when putting them IN or taking OUT!! ....change the solution every day in your contact container! Also, dont buy the cheapy solution...even though its a few bucks cheaper -- I sware on my life there is a difference. I Always use Opti brand. For awhile, I was buying the walmart solution %26amp; it seemed like my contacts were tearing %26amp; such. ALSO, dont sleep in them! It can really mess your eyes up and they get very dry. I usually swim in mine -- just not opening your eyes of course. It does take awhile to get use to them...but overall, they are wayyy better than bulky glasses. However I would have a back up pair of specs just incase something happens w/the contacts or for at night time just laying around the house!!I'm getting contacts for the first time so can I have some advice or tips?
Putting them in will irritate your eyes for a while.If you get daily wear contacts you have to keep them clean.I've been wearing contacts for years.What's bad is when the day is windy or you're around a fan,they tend to dry the contacts out and you have to keep putting drops in your eyes to alleviate the problem.Also,when you have a cold or something of that nature that causes your eyes to be red and itchy,you won't want to wear them because it'll kind of hurt.They can be alot of trouble at times so prepare yourself.FYI put a drain guard in your sink!I've dropped one while putting them in and lost it down the drain!I cost me $60 just to replace the one I lost!I'm getting contacts for the first time so can I have some advice or tips?
Always wash your hands before touching your eyes or the contacts.





Ensure that the lens is the right way round (touch the edges together and see which way the lens bends the most easily).





If you have different powers for each eye, be careful not to mix up your lens (I've done this quite a lot...).





When you hold it on the tip of your finger do not breath on it or it will float away and you won't find it until weeks later when it's all dried up.





Don't leave them in too long. Give your eyes a rest sometimes.





Contacts worked great for me. Your optician will explain everything to you.
wash your hands before and after, change the solution often, dont keep your contacts in for more than the recommended time, and keep your contacts case clean inside and out and NEVER sleep in them...they can fuse to ur eyeball!!! hope this helps
its easy once u get used to it...watch your doc closely...he should show u...but always make sure u see the little numbers on it in the light...if they are backwards your contact will really annoy u...use your index finger or what ever is comfortable...make sure u soak the lenses in a solution for sanitation
Dont leave them in too long.


Lots of people try to save some money and use contacts longer then they're supposed to, but it will hurt you in the long run, and the utter discomfort is not nearly worth the price
Try not to sleep in them. It really can irritate your eyes! Wash your hands before putting them in and taking them out.
it will be different at first touching your eyeball but you will get used to it.
to keep from accidently sleeping in them, never ay down and watch tv with them in.
Keep your hands VERY clean when using them, make sure they're in inside out
