I just had lenses assessment last Friday. I always wanted to wear contact lenses, but wasn't sure whether I can insert the lenses properly. Also reading about and hearing some horror stories from my friends... well, it kind of put me off.
After the assessment the doctor inserted the lenses for me, but it took almost half an hour as I couldn't relax, kept closing my eyes and actually didn't feel very well. I thought I was gonna faint. Luckily had a bottle of water with me.
When the lenses were in place, I went outside to get some fresh air. And that's when I realised how good and comfortable the contacts were.
The doctor then took the lenses out which took only a few seconds.
I'm supposed to go back next Wednesday to learn how to insert and take out the lenses myself, but I'm absolutely petrified! I know I am not the only one who is not comfortable with this, but I sooo want to be able to do it myself.
I'll let you know how I got on.
Please keep your fingers crossed for me.
