Great video. Had my first experience trying to put contacts in I manganged to get the right 1 in but the left I couldn't but in saying that I wouldn't say having a very pushy and unpatient staff member pushing you out the door to feel comfortable putting them in help much. Oh and left me with a blood shot eye. 😢
Hello, pls reply me if u see this. I got my 1st contacts 2 days ago. My question is, do I really have to change the lens cases every 3 months? Is it bad to use the same cases for a year? My lenses are yearly lenses. And do I wash the cases only with contact solutions and nothing else?
My daughter is 14, we spent so long at the optometrist and again at home as I, myself, a long time contact user, tried coaching her. It was so frustrating. She watched your video and the 1st method was all she needed, those contacts were out within the next minute!!
omg omg omg omg I AM WEARING LENSES....finally. I struggled to wear lenses for so long- i keep blinking every time and it's a reflex action I can't control. The tip about looking at the mirror from the side was the most helpful for me. THANK YOU SO MUCH TOT
I just have simple reading glasses from a rack at Wal-Mart, but they help me a LOT. The only number I have for the glasses is 275. What does that mean?
I have no idea how you guys do that. I've tried like a hundred times and still can't do that. My eyes just don't open that wide and even if I manage to put on the lens it's wavy so I have to take it out. 😢
I’m a little confused about something. Is there a different eye exam done for glasses vs contact lenses? I got my exam done and they didn’t ask whether it was for contact lenses or glasses.
Much thank you! Spent half an hour at the store getting used to their method. Got home couldn't replicate it and had to try something else. Method 1 ftw
very very useful, i am yet to try it but before hand my issues was keeping the eye open so now i have figured out how to keep it open, hopefully it works!!
Such an informative video, it explained all the needed details. I am able to make a right decision regarding my lenses. Thanks a bunch for putting it together!
I get so angry with myself as I just start blinking like mad every time, and my eye rolls right back in my head... It shouldn't take 3 hours each eye! Now my eyes are so red raw that I can't even attempt to follow the directions in the video.
I had two checkups one of the opthalmologist has given +0.75 of cylinder and other has given -0.5 of cylinder for both eyes? What is correct i dont understand is minus plus is same
i have worn contacts for 45 years. Lately I have had trouble taking them out. The first solution in your video resolved my issue. So EASY!! I've been doing it the hard way all this time. Thanks!!
Well visine caused my left pupil to dilate so large and cause blurred vision and swelling in face as well as a sharp intense headache. I originally thought I was having a stroke because I had similar symptoms according to the ambulance. I was transferred to hospital done all these tests, scans and it turns out it was the eye drops I had put in my eye.
@@EyesExplained Are these videos of people talking about how they swim or select in their contacts. Now their vision is messed up. What do they expect you're told day 1 In contact insertion in removal not to do that
Dr. Thank you. I fellow all theses. I do my best to clean mine properly. I was told by a retired optometrist that you should never fly in your contacts either. The reason is the pressurized air dries out your eyes more and it can cause redness in your eyes, and it can also make your eyes hurt. I'm sure you knew that cause you're a doctor but I didn't know that. I rotate between my glasses and my contacts. I wear monthways, so there are some time when I go a week with glasses. Just gives the eyes a break
Ah, I was not expecting to hear Australian accents when I clicked on this. I am new to contacts, it takes me about fifteen minutes to put them in but I do enjoy wearing them. Thanks so much for explaining things. Hello from Perth!
Try their 4th Method. I have been removing my contacts with this method for 20 years. You don’t have to grip it. Just slide toward nose bridge and remove @ tear duct area. I would never have been successful with contacts if my eye Doctor had not shown me that method for removal.
just got contacts 5 days ago. made the mistake of putting water in my case. thankfully i had a backup case so i am ok. but i realized watching this video i have not been cleaning both the lenses and case right. thankfully i found this video right when i started wearing them. thank you so much.
I know its ew but after i let my case air dry i found a dead white bug in it and i rinsed the case with peroxide and put my lenses in as normal. Im scared to use the contacts again, pls help!
OMG! Ive been trying to put my contacts for 30 mins and i almost lost hope but thanks to your video! It only took me seconds to put my contacts! Hahaha thanks a lot
Probably didn't cross anyones mind that I CANNOT SEE THE CONTACT ONCE I TAKE THE OTHER ONE OUT. No? No one??????? That it freaking STICKS TO MY EYEBALL. So I'm hoping I can do this EVERY SINGLE DAY. You know. Why would I want less maintenance when I can have MORE
