Ever Poke Yourself in the Eye?

If you ask people why they don't wear contact lenses, most of them will tell you that they're afraid to poke themselves in the eye. Yet people who have actually tried contacts will tell you that the most trouble they've had came from their eyes closing before they could get the contact lens in.

Those of you who wear SofLens One Day, have you ever actually jabbed yourself in they eye?

One other question. When you hold your eye open with your fingers, is it to keep it from closing or is it to open your eye wide enough to get the lens in?

I used to have a problem with that myself, but overcame it eventually.

I use all kinds of contacts for (Psycho logical, and other ) entertainment purposes.

I am having a really good time in the forum, I know quite a few people who wear glasses and contacts and have picked up a lot of information to give them here.

I'm glad you're enjoying the forum, Monk, I am too. I just wish I'd get a little more feedback. Have your visually-challenged friends contributed? I know you certainly have? Have you expanded your Lens 101 repertoire to include sunglasses and eyeglasses?
