my wife, on the other hand, is a fucking champ when it comes to anything eye related. she has keratoconus[0] and not only she has to do a ton of eye exams every year, but she has to wear rigid contact lenses whenever she's awake.

- pjerem 5y agoI'm probably not the first person to say it to you but the "fear" to put contact lenses fades very quickly. Maybe not the very first time, but from the second or the third time, you'll stop to think about it for ever. > it felt soooo bad! It shouldn't. You are not even supposed to feel them, in fact, some people fall asleep with them even if they know they shouldn't. If you suffered, even if it was your first try, it's probably due to presence of dust between your lens and your eye, and I agree that this is super painful. But that's not the normal sensation, and that's not an issue as long as you remove the lens and retry after some cleaning.
- frosted-flakes 5y agoA bigger problem for me is getting them out. At least the dailies I've tried recently (various types). I had a pair of monthlies 10 years ago and I don't remember it being a big problem then.
