i got contacts about a month ago after wearing glasses for 8-9 years + i felt just like this at first! i think you just have to get used to the feeling of lenses on your eyeballs. i'm used to it now. and at first, i thought i'd never be able to wear contacts, after my first appointment with the optician he asked me to try putting them in for the first time, i just sat there trying for half an hour but couldn't + i went home feeling terrible. but i went back, tried again, + now i can take them in + out every morning + night pretty easily!!
