Actually, if you just mean you can't seem to grip them, then the way I do it (probably same as you are doing now tbh, if you are wearing other contacts) is touse thumb and forefinger and "squeeze" it - make it rise up in the middle of the contact lens and pop off.

agreed i got mine from tesco but they are a brand i tried a few before i got mine.

i have been known tho to take my cornea off before now tho

Simple - check you've got the right fit. differnet brands fit differently so best not to mix and marth.

if they are too tight thet will 'clamp' to the eye, drying out the area underneath and causing too much of a suction effect. Your optician will be able to tell at the end of a day's wear as there will be a visible ring, like the mark you get if your socks are too tight.

If they are too loose, they won't stick properly.

I first read that as "and one of my arms was missing for ages, it wasn't a good time"

That wouldn't be a good time alright!

Johnson&Johnson daily disposables for me. Using them rather than specs when riding is probably the best 'upgrade' for my bike, bar the rear shock and that includes doing IAM, Z6 tyres, etc. Can't beat 26:26 vision (well, unless you're aboriginal...)
