look up as you pull them to the bottom of your eye... pull your bottom eyelid down with one hand and the with the finger tips of the other hand pull the bottom of the contact to the bottom eyelid and then pinch them and theyll come right out\n\nand to put them in look up and pull your eyelid (the top eyelid) up and then put the ontact on your fingertop and just pop it in ... dont be scared\n\nyoull get used to it\n\n\nwhen i first got contacts it took me 20 minutes\n\nand id be like YES i did it in 20 minutes im awesome\n\nnow i can do it in like 5 seconds\n\nit just takes time and practice\n\nyoull get used to it dont worry

Do you wear contacts?  If so, maybe you should take them out for a bit.  Try using some eye drops if you have any. Also is it painful at all?  If its painful you should probably make an appointment to see an optometrist.  Even if it isn't painful maybe its time to book an appointment anyways so your optometrist can let you know what to do since you spend too much time on a computer

LOL!  Slow down. =)  I've been wearing them since I was 13.  I'm 36.  They won't fall out, ever!  They won't melt in your eyes, ever!  You should remove them before going into a tanning bed, but regular laying out is no problem at all.  They won't cut your eyes either, BUT you have to follow your schedule precisely to work into them.  Your Dr. will tell you how to do this.  The reason is that if you wear them too long before your eyes have gotten used to them, it can cause a corneal abrasion...a scratch on the eye.  If that happens, it doesn't cause any long-term damage, and it heals in a few days, but it is incredibly painful.  The good news is that if you follow your schedule this won't happen.  It is more likely to happen in hard lenses than soft.  Most people can wear soft lenses.  As for things flying into your eyes:  It happens, whether you wear lenses or not.  It's not any more common for lens wearers than for non-lens wearers.  You can usually just work it out, but on ocassion you might have to remove your lens, rinse it off with saline, and put it back in.  No biggie.\n\nYou're not supposed to swim in them, but I always have and have never lost one.  It isn't advisable though.\n\nThe only real risk with contacts is if you just don't clean them, or if you wear a pair that isn't prescribed for you.  In either of those instances, you can end up getting an infection, and that can be serious.  In the eye, you can get such a serious infection that your sight is risked before you even feel it.  Now that I've scared you with the truth, let me say that I am not aware of a single case of this happening.  So rare that it's hardly worth discussing, but it wouldn't be honest to not mention it.  Just clean them as your Dr. prescribes, and they will become as much a part of your life as your earrings or mascara.  There's nothing to be afraid of, especially if you get the more comfortable soft lenses.

Don't worry! the other day I told my husband that we need a Lew Nounge....(new lounge).\n\n\n If you are really concerned about your eyes, you really should have them looked at by an optometrist. most eye problems need to be treated in the early stages, so don't wait until they are beyond repair!!!

if you take care of your contacts, there shouldn't be any discomfort or side effects.  Every contact brand I have tried was ok.  I use the monthly ones, but i normally just wear them until they aren't comfortable any more.  They shouldn't fall out at all if you have the right RX for your eyes.

Try AMO Complete solution. You should check with your eye dr. before resuming contact lens wear though.

Nothing at all should happen as long as you took the contacts out fairly quickly and washed them.\n\nIf not, and they aren't one day disposables, you may have to get them checked by an optician as the chemicals in the medication may affect the lens

I could be a couple different reasons. Your contacts could be fitting poorly (too tight) and  causing these problems. It also could be from wearing your contacts too long or from them drying out. There are also other causes, but to find out for sure see the doctor who prescribed the contacts

I wear hard contacts and always take them off before a shower as I was told many years ago.\n\nI only wear them for games.\n\nI don't know about soft contacts but it would probably be best to take them off.\n\nAsk an optometrist what they would recommend.

I also wear contacts, soft lense or hard lense can make a difference.  Your eye hurt cause while you sleep your eye are constantly moving.  But your eye stay close so your contacts dont get any oxygen to breath.  So when you went to take the contact out it was probally really dry and sore.  You should make sure that you rinse out your contact really good.  The slimy stuff is just stuff that blinds up from your contact being in there and fighting against germs. Use your drops at night.  And try to give your contacts a break tonight or today.  It will be feeling better in about a day.

Stop eating them!  It sounds like an allergic reaction.  One allergic reaction can create new allergies.  I was once prescribed a medication, I had an allergic response, and I ended up becoming allergic to my contact lenses--which I had worn for years--and I had to switch to a new brand.\n\nCheck with your doctor, but in the mean time, don't eat them!

there is no way to get out of not going to the doctor for this one, it is a very bad infection and can be cured by home remedies.   throw away your existing contacts and don't wear any until 1 week after they clear up. wash your hand constantly, don't rub, more than likely it will spread to the other eye

could scratch your cornea leading to irritation.  try rinsing it out using some contact lens solution....the kind one stores lenses in

clean the area around the eye with milk...just dip a piece of cotton in milk and rub it around ure eyes..atleast 3 times a day!
