A lot of people have trouble inserting their contact lenses. Does using a mirror help you?

Biofinity and beyond!

Hi, I am a new contact wearer and my first big problem was inserting the lenses. Since we wear contacts because we can't see, then I thought, how the heck am I going to see to put them in?!

The solution is to buy one of those magnified, round mirrors with the suction cups on the back. Just stick it to your bathroom mirror and use it for seeing the entire insertion process.

Now I can put my lenses in on the first try. The mirrors are found at Drugstores, but try the Dollar stores first. If you can find them at the Dollar store you will save $3 to 4 dollars. Try it.

That's a great idea Kaywood. I'm glad you found something that really works for you. I hope this idea works for others as well.

That mirror looks pretty cool, and it sticks to stone tile as well. At least, that's what it looks like in the picture.

Thanks again for the tip, Kaywood. Is your stick-on mirror in the bathroom?
