How to wear prescribed contacts lenses if u have a very strong tendency to blink?

alright so these r my prescribed Contacts Lenses, but I can’t put’em on cuz every time I try to get a contact in my eye I start to blink too much! plz help me and tell me how can I wear contacts if I have a very strong tendency to blink! cuz I’m sick glasses and I start my high school in Aug! and I wanna b able to wear contacts before my high school.

It just takes practice. When I first started wearing contacts it took me some time to adjust to the thought of touching my eye, but you will be able to do it in no-time.
The reaction to blink can be beaten by practicing putting eye drops in your eyes so that you learn not to automatically blink when you want to put something in your eye.
I would also recommend that you go back to your optometrist and ask then to teach you how to do it as they should not let you go home with them until you are able to do it yourself.
Good luck

    There is only one way…concentrate , and stop blinking.

    It is a controllable reflex, difficult for some at first, but you can do it.

    Maybe you should go back where you got them for another lesson, they obviously didn’t teach you well.

    Okay I had this problem too this is what works for me:
    1) Take a shower this relaxes you
    2) Let the water hit your face and keep your eyes open. Your eyes will want to close but relax take deep breaths and eventually your eye muscles will relax and you’ll be able to keep em open.
    3) Hope out of the shower and pop your contacts in. At this point your eye muscles are relaxed and you will blink less just breath deeply and you should get them in :)

    I went twice to contact fittings and couldn’t get them on my 3rd time I tried this before I went and bam got em in in under 5 min! I now do this every morning (minus the keeping eyes open part cause my eyes are adjusted now) and can get them in no problem!

    Remember:
    1) Be relaxed
    2) Breathe
    3) Get those suckers in there!
