[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Everyone has a different technique. I turn my head downward, hold my upper eyelid open with a finger and place contact. My son, tilts his head back, holds eyelid open and inserts. Basically, practice makes you faster. Has he watched any YouTubes? Do you know any adults or teens that could sit with him as he practices?

As I think back, in the beginning,I used to set myself up a place at my kitchen table with all my supplies and a small stand mirror.  Good luck.[/quote]

I do the tilt-back, too. I tilt my chin up a bit, pull my bottom lid down with the middle finger of my left hand, and roll my eyes upward before putting it in with the middle finger of my right hand.

I do remember an optometrist's assistant once telling me she'd never seen anyone put them in the way I do, though! I just can't imagine getting them in by pulling up my upper eyelid. My eyes are fairly deep-set, so maybe that's why it works better for me to pull down the lower one.[/quote]
