Thank you, this was very helpful. I have worn hard contacts for 40 years and needed help with these, they are so different. You did a nice job and had great hints!

@skatefastXpartyhard4 dry your finger more. contacts go wherever it is most moist becuase they are mostly liquid. So if your eyeball is wetter than yoru finger it will transfer. If you finger is wetter than your eyeball it won't.

@abdoulie91 I have colored contacts, too. The reason you can't see clearly out of colored contacts is because the pupil on the lens is much smaller than on a regular lens. This is done so your natural eye color is hidden better.

@mintsponge i have long eyelashes. it's not that hard. i just use my pointer finger to kinda lift my lashes... it didn't feel weird to me...

@skatefastXpartyhard4 just in case you're still having problems which i doubt a year later, you have to make sure that the edges of the contact lens isn't sticking on your fingertip. this happens when the contact lens is wet from the solution.

You barely have eyelashes...mine are much longer and so it makes it a lot harder for me to pull my eyelids up and my finger always touches the eyelashes and it feels really uncomfortable.
