Im 13 And Just Got Contacts And Cant Get Them In!?

So i went to the eye doctors and got fitted for contacts, or whatever they call it.
so they made me go through a little how-to course. When it came time to put the contacts in, i got pretty excited. i wasn’t expecting to get them in on my first try… but in the hour i was there, i couldn’t get them in at all. i couldn’t even get one in. my eye started turning red and every time i put my finger near my eye i would blink and the contact would fold up. i just COULDN’T get it onto my eye no matter how many times i tried. i have a small amount of astigmatism (sp?) in my right eye, but the doctor said that i didnt need special contacts for that. could it be the reason i couldn’t get the contact in?
what was your first attempt at contacts like?
im scared ill never be able to put them in. i left the office crying because i was just so determined to get it in.
please share some advice/knowledge?
thanks

I’ve Worn Contacts For About 5 Or 6 Years And Got New Ones But Now My Eyes Dry Up And I Cant Wear Them.

I have been wearing contacts for about 5 or 6 years but recently got a new eye prescription and they told me they longer made the contacts I wear. I have tried a few new brands out but they simply dry out my left eye (it is a toric lens for astigmatism). Could I have a problem with my eye or am I just unable to get used to a different material in the lens itself? I cannot keep it in my left eye for more than a half hour but my right eye (normal contact) feels fine. I have been interning in a datacenter this summer which uses a complex air conditioning system and the problem has gotten worse since being here. Any ideas?

If You Put In Non Prescription Colored Contacts And You Put Them In And You Have Astigmatisms What Will Happen?

Ohkay, I have non prescription colored contacts and I want to wear them but I have slight astigmatisms in one eye and I’m afraid what will happen. If anyone knows what will happen can you tell me, I don’t want to hurt my eye. (P.S. Don’t worry about the vision, I’m blind in that eye anyway)

How My Contacts Feel This Way After I Take Them Out?

my contacts r fine when they’re on my eyes but when i take them out my eyes start feeling really dry and itchy. why is it like this? is there something i can do 2 prevent it? the brand is just some brand that my eye doc gave me and my right eye has astigmatism if that helps

My Contacts Are Really Blurry And I Can’t Drive At Night With Them In.?

They’re supposed to be the same prescription as my glasses, but I still feel like I need reading glasses or something. Sometimes it’s almost like the contact isn’t fully covering my eye, when I know it is and eye drops don’t really help. They’re Acuvue Oasys with hydraclear and I’ve been wearing them since June. Maybe I’m just not used to them yet, or maybe I dunno. Any ideas? Also note, that I’m farsighted and I do not have an astigmatism…

My Parents Won’t Let Me Get Contacts For An Astigmatism? Help Me Convince Them?

I Ordered Contacts With The Wrong Sph Number, Can I Still Use Them ?

I have an astigmatism and i accidentally ordered the wrong SPH. My correct prescription is 8.4/14.4 0 -2.75 x165. I ordered 8.4/14.4 +1.00 -2.75 x165. Can i still wear these? They are Proclear Toric XR and cost $80/box. I really don’t want to open them if they aren’t going to work right. Thanks for the help!

My Contacts Cost A Truckload, Does Anyone Know Where You Can Find Them Cheaper Online?

I recently (and after several grueling tries) have managed to be fitted with a pair of soft lenses that are acceptable for my astigmatism. The problem with this is that they’re costing me so much money that they might not even be worth it. I was wondering if anyone knew of any place online where I can buy Frequency 55 Toric XR lenses for a decent price? I’ve looked everywhere, and I’m not having any luck.
Also, I have a slight problem with the vision in only my right eye going slightly blurry every now and then. My left lens is perfectly comfortable and I can see fine out of it. And while my right lens isn’t UNCOMFORTABLE, I notice it a lot more than I notice the left, and it blurs up a little more often than the left. Anyone have any suggestions as to the problem?
Thank you for any help.
