How I did it: For some reason I had a great deal of trouble getting contacts in my eyes.  My eyes are pretty sensitive and I've had kind of a phobia of touching them for a while.  Over the years I've been in to the eye doctor 3 or 4 times to try to get them in, and each time I wasn't able to do it.  The reflex for me to resist and blink my eye was too strong.

Today I finally did it though!  For the past few weeks I've been practicing poking my eye and just trying to convince myself that there's nothing wrong with touching the eyeball.  After practicing touching my eye for a while I scheduled another appointment and I managed to finally get them in!

Lessons & tips: If you are having trouble, practice just touching your eye at home.
