Why do I have a hard time putting in contacts?

Blinking too early makes it hard to put in contacts. If you tend to blink or squeeze your eye shut before putting in your contact lens, you may have to hold open your eyelids. If you need to, use two fingers, on one hand, to hold open the bottom and top eyelid, so you don’t blink. Open your eyes widely.

How do you not blink when putting contacts in?

Practice not blinking by using your non-dominant hand (i.e. your left, if you are right-handed) to assist. Place your pointer finger on the upper eyelid, and the side of your thumb on the lower eyelid to gently hold open your eye. This will help you avoid blinking midstream.
