Yeah, I get that. The issue is not that it wouldn't work, the issue is that I think it would be more traumatic for me then a normal person, and I base that assessment on the fact that putting contacts in is more traumatic for me than a normal person (like "extremely traumatic" vs "something so non-traumatic that they voluntarily do it to themselves on a regular basis").

I wore contact lenses for 10 years, before getting lasik.

The first time, it took 30 minutes to get them in.

For the first few months, I really struggled. Eventually it got easier, and in a short time I could put them in first time, every time

We're taught from a young age to not put things in our eyes, and it does take time to overcome that. The thought of it might be extremely traumatic now, but if you did it every day, you'd find that disappearing quickly.

I don't think we're really "taught" this, but is jut part of our innate programming. I never taught my cat anything, and I'm fairly sure if I were to put anything in her eye she would be less than happy about that, even if it doesn't hurt her.

I certainly never recall my mother telling me off for putting things in my eyes.

Thanks, but I've been wearing glasses for 45 years now. I've made my peace with the fact that the contacts thing ain't gonna happen for me.
