lets fuck.?

[Icekingtheawesome]

I finally got my contacts in it took three days.

[MrJay199]

Nice Review!

But just don't sanitize your hands, hand sanitizer contains some percent of alcohol and if that goes into your eyes it will burn a lot!

Again, Good Review!

[skoolgyrls101]

uhmm quick question do u have to have perscription to get them or just wear them for fun plzz answer bakk cause im 12 and im gettin contacts but befor i get them i need a answer<3 :)

[Trubble25]

@skoolgyrls101 I think you could get coloured ones for halloween or something only if you had poor eyesight or have glasses but if your going somewhere special and have poor eyesight or glasses it would be good to wear them there so you dont have to footer with your glasses :)

[thinkformenow]

@skoolgyrls101 you dont need a perscription, you can just get like colored ones. :P you can also get perscription colored ones.

[salz83]

@salz83 Thank you (:

[anjanette12345]

yea your right .

you have grade huh ? :)

[icyabstract]

@anjanette12345 Aww that's good to know! Once you start on contacts you wouldn't really go back to glasses. Lol.

[05alis]

thanks u helped me alot

[BlackPinkize]

Omg, someone explain to me what about getitng blind?

[iamcorneliapreety]

in the first time u put the lenses it have to pain right?

[icyabstract]

@iamcorneliapreety No not true! It might be uncomfortable but it shouldn't be pain.

[wilsonxunknown]

hey ~ i'm having trouble on removing the lens ~ can you show me how ?

[icyabstract]

@wilsonxunknown Removing is a bit tricky and it just takes practice and getting used to. Just hold your hand in a pinching position, with the three fingers closer to you and your thumb and pointer further away, kind of like you're cupping something. Then just angle it such that the meat on your thumb and pointer grip the lenses and there you go. You'll get the hang of it!

[araliciousfamous]

hye. i just wanna ask. I'm 14 this year. I plan to wear contacts cos' i hate being teased around in school. but i am afraid. My mum allows me. If so, what is your advice? i mean. I kinda touch my eyes with my fingers b4(i washed my hand) and felt okay. but will taking out the contacts be painful?

[icyabstract]

@araliciousfamous It's always best to keep your hands clean when dealing with contacts but occassionally if it can't be helped then it's alright but do try to clean your eyes with those eye cleansing solutions out there. As for taking it out, it shouldn't hurt at all. It might take getting used to and it could just be freaky and uncomfortable but it shouldn't be painful.

[ILoveAdoraBatBrat]

@araliciousfamous

I am 13 and I use contacts because I hate hate hate my glasses. I were soo afraid at first but it turned out easier than I thaught. I think removing is easier than putting the contacts in, it takse like 2 minutes and butting them in about 10. I think you should go to an eye doctor and get your questions answerd, and decise if you want contacts or not! But it's worth a try.

[bluemchengaga]

such as removing you find?

[1Daucy2Bllah7]

Help D:

[1Daucy2Bllah7]

D: I still can't put it in. I'm so stuck. I'm just really afraid of putting stuff in my eye and every time i get near my eye with it.. i just move my hand away.. automatic reaction ;) i don't know how i got passed it at the opticians ! LOL. Although, it took me an hour at the opticians to put one contact lense in eye.. and 15 minutes to do the other one ;/

[icyabstract]

@1Daucy2Bllah7 I guess trying and practicing is the only way (: I had a fear of putting them in and removing them at the start too but right now it's no problem for me. It's normal to have that fear but you'll get over it!

[1Daucy2Bllah7]

@icyabstract yeah. I have been using them ever since. There great :D Since im getting braces to i wont look so dorky ;P coz i do look quite wierd with glasses xD

[1Daucy2Bllah7]

@icyabstract lol. Yeah. Now i have a fear of getting two teeth pulled out in like.. half and hour xD But, yeah.

[kyleawilson]

THANK YOU ! I am a 41 year-old adult and I didn't think a teenager would be able to help me. But I spent 1 hour (!) trying to put my contacts it this first morning with them. What worked for me was when I saw you using your WHOLE right finger to pull your right eyelid up and then putting the contact in your right eye with the left hand. This was opposite of what the Optometrist told me. But your way worked for me !

Thanks again !

[icyabstract]

@kyleawilson Aw, glad to be of help! I guess in the end the best method that works is what you feel most comfortable with and of course what doesn't damage or poke your eye is good enough (: Remember not to pull on the undereye area too much! It could cause fine lines over time (:

[AllTimeChicks]

Thank you :D

[Magicquel567]

good video, but I have a problem. I can get a colour-contact in my right eye, but when I try to put one in my left eye I have a problem, I try to insert it from the white part of my eye underneath my iris, if you get me ;-). but everytime the contact sticks on my eye, I cant get the contact in my iris(in the middle of my eye) , do you have any suggestions?, thanks

[icyabstract]

@Magicquel567 Hm I think I do get what you mean, though have you ever tried putting it straight on your eye. I know most people practice the putting on the white portion and blinking it in place. But I was thought to place it straight on the eye and I don't notice any extra discomfort. Maybe you could try that out and see. I do sometimes encounter days where my contacts just don't sit right with my eye.

[Magicquel567]

@icyabstract your totally tried, after I put the previous reaction, I went trying again and tried your way, and went perfect, but now its on both eyes, I see very dusty :S and it's really annoying, will this always be the same or is it because I use colour contacts?

X ;-)

[icyabstract]

@Magicquel567 Hm, colored contacts is known to have a bit of a rim when you wear them. At least that's what I noticed with mine but I don't think you should have dusty vision. I'm not quite sure what could be wrong though... I would try blinking it out and see if it works but I think you might have tried it. Wash it thoroughly again?

[superstarsensation]

I bought my contacts today, im going to put them in, in a few days. Its not perscription though, for how long can i reuse it?

:)

[icyabstract]

@superstarsensation Hm I am not 100% sure on it. Does it state on the box you got? If it does not say daily, then you can use it for either up to a month or a year. I think it's best you find out from the place you purchased it at.

[ImMeatBall]

I dare not to put it in, lol.

[icyabstract]

@ImMeatBall It depends on whether you want to wear contacts or not, it really doesn't hurt or anything (:

[LarryLegend93]

Hi there, thank you for posting this video. Its helps. Cheers! :)

[icyabstract]

@LarryLegend93 No problem, I'm glad it helped! (:

[icyabstract]

@jellogirl530 Aw thank you for subscribing! (:

[icyabstract]

@jellogirl530 That could happen because of slight irritation but usually it should go away after awhile.

[icyabstract]

@jellogirl530 No it doesn't hurt, though you might have to get used to the feeling of having contacts on. It's doesn't feel very uncomfortable, but it's a bit different.

[nekyo]

do u think its better to wear contacts before make up or after?

[icyabstract]

@nekyo Sources say it's better to wear after so that powder from doing makeup doesn't get on your contacts. I personally wear it before because I can't understand wearing it after because eyeliner or mascara might smudge and all that.

[mheey06]

how would you know if its in the right way ??

[icyabstract]

@mheey06 It's a bit hard to explain it but you can actually feel it. If it feels uncomfortable for quite awhile even after blinking and all then you might have it in the wrong way. But it depends on what you mean, as in the lens is inversed or.. ?

[asian960]

Nice tutorial. You ever wear circle lens? A lot of people are into those. They come in a lot of different colors and styles. You should check it out. I buy mine from ibeautyfreak,com

[icyabstract]

Thanks. Nope I've not tried those as I have astigmatism and I don't think they make those for astigmatism.

[shooterman13]

Its better to just pull your eye lid down alot

[sharonwillmann]

heyy im too scared to try them.haha. aww i think u have a cold

[icyabstract]

Haha yeah I had a cold that day. It seems I always wake up with a cold or something. Lol. It's really not that scary, once you get the hang of it you'll do fine (:

[pokamochaa]

sometimes i'm reli anxious that long nails will scratch ur eye or break the lens... once i kept my nails long and i scratched my eye... ouch. but i guess that's just me not being careful :S

[icyabstract]

I do get anxious as well about breaking the lens so I try to be careful with them when I grow my nails out.

[sophie09dec]

Oh yeah

I used to have a fullset and I scratched my eyes several times. :(

Not only you. :((

[jaysjohnny]

for me, i just get my contact lkenses and put it back in the solution & it will flip on the right side.. (:

[badjennygirl]

u forgot to wash the lens with solution after taking it out of the case first before putting it on.

[icyabstract]

Oh I did, but I just didn't want to do it on camera. I washed it and put it into new solution.

[petetalee]

i got question

uhm

Does Contacts change your eye color? for instance it kinda sparkle your eyes (in a good way)

[icyabstract]

I would say yes it kinda does actually. If you're wearing clear contacts, it does make your eye a little more "shiny" since contacts are pretty reflective. In my opinion they give your eyes a bit of life too, haha.

[petetalee]

thanks for the help :]

[icyabstract]

You're welcome!

[sophie09dec]

Ohhh no wonder... when I was wearing clear contacts, my brother in law asked me "Woww, your eyes look shiny today...". And I was like "Yeah, as always lol".

I thought people can't realized that tho

[icyabstract]

The contacts? They do tend to reflect a little more as opposed to 'regular' bare eyes. And they give this clarity. Its quite nice actually. haha.

[freakyboo]

u also forgot to mention which is the right way for the lens since the lens is clear ! Each lens have three numbers(123) so point it against the light so u can read it. make sure u see 123 and not 321. otherwise u will be wearing it backward. That will be the right way to look at the lens then put it on your eyes !

[icyabstract]

Oh. I didn't know about the 123 thing... there isn't one on my lens. Is it the lens for myopia or astigmatism?

[Jinnyloveredstuff]

My eye is so bad that I am about half blind without my glasses. so I have to look at the shape of my contact to figure out if it is backward or not. (My contact has those 123 number to help me figure out too, but I can't see it.

[icyabstract]

Oh I see. Omigosh really? Then I guess you have to do it trial and error style?

[holycaster25]

what do u do when ur eye itch? u cant cratch it rite?

[icyabstract]

Yeah you can't really although sometimes I do forget and rub it a little. It's best to blink the itch away, to me at least. haha.

[holycaster25]

ohh... thanks (:

[KolerikRocks]

i wear soft contacts. 2 questions 1 which contacts do u wear hard or soft and 2 what saline soultion do u use to clean your contacts with thx?

[icyabstract]

I wear soft lenses too and the solution I use is Opti-Free Replenish Multi purpose Disinfecting Solution.

[holycaster25]

so how do you take them out?

i see people like pintching dem out?

[icyabstract]

yeap, basically you use the sides of your fingers (not your nails) to "pinch" the contacts out. But of course be sure to be careful when doing so and always look up so you don't accidentally scratch your pupils.

[Babaloooo123456]

Do contact lenses hurt?

[icyabstract]

Nope, they don't. If you're wearing it for the very first time, you might experience a slight discomfort but not so much so that it'll hurt. (:

[deven792]

YOU ARE A FLIPPIN PRO!!!!

[icyabstract]

Lol, thanks. I wouldn't say I'm a total pro, but I've been wearing contacts for about 2 years now, so that's probably why. haha.

[KolerikRocks]

not only should you washing your hands b4 handling your lenses, you should also clip your nails that way you don't rip your contact lens

[icyabstract]

Yeah, that's what my optometrist said too but I guess i can't stand my nails being too short. So long as you're careful with your lenses if you have long nails then I guess it's not too bad.

[fooshudoobudoo]

thanks so much!!!

i tried that and my lenses folded up again lol

but no worries, ill keep trying!!!

[icyabstract]

Folded up? Oh no. But why does it fold up?

[fooshudoobudoo]

haha im not sure

it just scrunces together

i tried some advices like to add solution before but it doesnt work

im going to keep trying tomorrow

my eyes got a little red before when i tried to put it in

thanks anyway for your vid!

[icyabstract]

Oh... yeah if your eyes get too red maybe you should stop for a bit. Are you using soft lenses or hard lenses?

[fooshudoobudoo]

soft lol

[icyabstract]

Same here. hmm. I don't really know what's wrong then....

[KellnKam]

You sound stuffy

[icyabstract]

had a flu. haha. I seem to have one like 24/7.
