In January I had gotten contacts and I wouldn't wear them because they took forever to put in so then I stop but now I started wearing them but they keep popping out because my eyes are dry I use eye drops but they don't work so could you tell me how to get them in faster and a solution and eyed tops that help?

well this might be due to many reasons like eye sensitivity in which case u should contact a doc, or might be due to poor quality of the contacts.the other reason might be that u r not so much used to it.so just try it out at home and yes use water a lot after wearing lenses and most importantly clean it after taking 'em out

You might be putting them in wrong. If the contact looks round and smooth then you're doing it right. Otherwise, if it looks edgy then turn it inside out. So now, don't use eye drops to make it wet. Use the eye contact solution you have been advised to use by the worker. If they didn't then try using Opti-Free Express by Alcon, you can get it at the drug store. Also if you want them to stay then stretch your eyes with your fingers vertically and use your index finger to put them in, keep your eye stretched out and move your eyeball until you feel that your lense is comfortable and in place. I suggest putting a few drops in every few hours with the solution so it won't dry out on you. Hope this helped:)

Are your lenses hard or soft ones? I found the hard ones pop out much easier. Make sure you're keeping your fingers & hands away from your eyes when the lenses are in: I can pop mine out by pulling my eye taut & blinking, easy to do accidentally if your tired & rubbing your eyes.
Also, get your optician to check that you don't have astigmatism. It's relatively common (means the eyeball isn't 100% normal shape) & can cause lenses to move/pop a lot more. If you do have it, a good optician should know which brands are more suitable.

If putting them in is your problem, this should help. Grab your bottom and top lid with your index finger and thumb. With the other hand (make sure to wash and dry hands before) have your contact ready. Next, look as far at your nose as possible. Then, put the contact on the biggest white part of your eye. Lastly, blink it into place. :) . My mother inlaw taught me and it's so easy now. :)
