[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]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]
Same, I have always tilted back. I roll my eye up (I can't imagine staring right at the contact as it goes in, personally), pull the bottom lid down with my right hand middle finger and put the contact in with my right hand index finger. I don't think I ever pulled up my top eyelid but agree it might be different depending on one's eye shape. I have pretty big, open eyes and that may be why just tugging down the lower lid works for me.

I started wearing contacts at 11 and it also took me a good hour to get them in in the early days. He definitely shouldn't stress about it taking so long at first! That's very, very normal and it really will shorten pretty quickly once he starts using the contacts on a regular basis.[/quote]
