How can I stop my blink reflex to get contact lenses in?

Pub is sort of correct, although he contradicts himself a bit.\n\nIt is a reflex ... reflexes are learned activities.  Close the door ... turn off the music, etc.  Always do this with quiet concentration.  You will have to retrain your body to accept this new event.\n\nBy minimizing the distractions, you have more focus and control ... be patient, but regular.  You can retrain reflexes.

maybe you have accidently sctratched the iris of your eye. perhaps a trip to the opticians would be a good idea.

we blink to keep moisture on our eye so it doesn't dry out--when it does start to dry your eye will feel itchy and super uncomfortable--there is some people that can withhold blinking for long periods of times but not "a couple of hours" plus blinking is implusive most of the time meaning that we can't control it our body just does it for us-kinda like breathing\n\nif you found this helpful please select as "best answer" so both me and you get points!

Open your eyes wide and look in a mirror. All your actions should be done by staring into the mirror and not at your fingers approaching your eye. If you look from the mirror to your hand you will blink and maybe involuntarily turn away. By staring hard at your reflection all your focus will be on that reflection and you will be able to keep your eye open.\nWatch your finger in the mirror and pop the lens in on the end of your finger tip. When removing the lense look in the mirror again and watch your reflected hand approach your eye and gently grasp the lense and lift it off.\nBy practicing this technique it will soon become intuitive and you will not even think about it.

Sure the contacts could be affecting you because your eyes "breathe" differently with and without contacts.  My eyes are always irritated when I take my contacts out - all the sudden they are getting a little more oxygen than they're used to and have no barrier from irritants.  I love my oasis lenses because I can keep in for a week before taking out to clean, which means fewer occassions for taking out and getting dry eye.  Try em and ask your eye doc just to be safe!

If you wear contact lenses, you should stop using it at least one week before the intended surgery. The reason is that contact lenses make the shape of your eyes change and thus it will not make the laser beam get to the right point.\nI myself used to wear glasses so that was not a problem for me.\n\nHowever, I would strongly recommend you and your friend to read this website carefully before making a decision. You have only one pair of eyes, and therefore should not risk your most precious things. I have had lasik surgery myself, and if I were given a choice , I would never have it again. Please do not believe in those who can benefit from your surgery. What they aim at is money, and not your health. I think there is a new technique that helps shape your eyes and thus reduces your myopia without involving any operations at all.\n\nUseful website:\n\nhttp://www.lasikdisaster.com/

You are more likely to loose the lenses in your bed, have them be damaged or to develop eye infections if you sleep with contact lenses in. It doesn't take long to take them out and it is worth the trouble.

I don't think wearing contacts makes it worse. In an old wives tale, carrots made your vision better. You can get a lasar procedure to make you not have to use glasses or contacts!

do your lenses fit right?\neye drops for hard contact lenses might help, they help me if i have somthing on/under my contact

It's perfectly fine to do that (as long as the contacts don't have any power and your glasses are up-to-date).  Just be sure that you're taking proper care of the contacts (cleaning them correctly, not overwearing them, etc).

I've had them for over 20 years. \nTips:\nWash your hands before touching them.\nUse fresh solution every night. Scrub out the case once a week.\nIf you have disposables, wear them as directed, not longer.\nIf they aren't the kind you can sleep in, don't sleep in them--they'll stick to your eyes. If that happens, pour saline into your eyes until the contacts loosen.\nYou'll need to get a good pair of 100% UV sunglasses as your eyes are more senstitive to light with contacts in.\nIf you get an eye infection or pinkeye, go right to your medical doctor for the drops. You'll have to toss that pair of lenses and put fresh ones in when your eyes are better.\nDo whatever your eye care person tells you to do.

Get one of those eyeglass repair kits.  They have little pads that you can stick on that create traction so your glasses don't slip.

try a frame that is solid plastic, without those little nose thingies attached between the lenses

Take the certificate to the opticians.  Tell them in advance you have one when you make the appointment. Job done.

Wearing contacts are a difficult adjustment for your eyes.  They must get used to a foreign body residing there.  Your doctor or optician likely recommended wearing them for short periods initially, working your way up to wearing them all day.  Have you been doing that?  If not, it could easily tire and irritate your eyes.  Giving your eyes some rest from the contacts may be enough to solve the problem.  Also, an over-the-counter eye care product may help as well.\n\nIf you are following their instructions and continue to have problems, you should probably return and have your eyes checked to make sure there are no other problems.
