Hi Shirley

Don't get too hung up on removing the contact lenses, it's a piece of cake (assuming you are talking about soft lenses, which most people wear). I have been wearing contacts so long I don't give it a second thought. I could even (have) taken them out in the dark!

Just pinch the lens on your eye between your index finger and thumb and the lens will come off. You will overcome the natural defence mechanism of sticking your fingers in your eye quite quickly.

I think it is also possible to slide the lens onto the sclera/white of the eye and lift them off. That part of the eye is less sensitive than your cornea if you misjudge where the lens is

Rigid Gas Permeable Lenses, like the old Hard Lenses, need a different technique. My son uses a rubber sucker stick, but you can just flick them off with your eyelid, though this (from bitter Hard Lens experience) can lead to the lens flying into orbit and then enjoying the next 5 minutes looking for the lens on the floor

But, as I said, you will be wearing soft lenses and they are very easy.
