Anyone suffering from sight issues has the option of either contact lenses or glasses, and which suits you best will depend on your own individual circumstances. That said, there are a lot of myths surrounding contact lenses, so let’s clear those up so they don’t cloud your decision!

1. They Can Get Lost Behind Your Eye

Many worry contact lenses can get lost behind the eye, but this is actually impossible. A contact slipping behind the eye is prevented by a thin membrane, called the conjunctiva, that covers the white part. At worst, they might shift a little, but they’ll never get lost in such a dangerous way. 

2. They’re Uncomfortable

You’ve likely heard that contact lenses are uncomfortable, but with modern lenses, you don’t even feel they’re there at all (and that’s the whole point!). Contact lenses are made to be breathable, allowing oxygen to pass through the surface and into the eye, preventing dryness and irritation. While they might slip a little every now and then, most people wear them daily without any issues at all. 

3. They’re Difficult to Put In

One of the biggest myths of all is that contact lenses are difficult to put in. The reality is, most people don’t like stuff going near their eyes, so the idea of putting something directly onto your eyeball with your finger can be daunting at first. 

Ultimately, though, once you’ve done it a few times, it’ll just become second nature. Take a look at the infographic below for easy-to-understand, step-by-step instructions on exactly how to place them. Follow the guide exactly, and you’ll have it down in no time!
