Contact Lenses.

[valerieb1254]

I've just seen the previous question about hypnotherapy and was wondering if anyone thought it would be useful for my grandson.He's 17yrs old and wears glasses but really wants contact lenses but just cannot get them in.The optician has tried and he's tried a few times himself.As soon as he gets it near his eye he just closes it.I feel so sorry for him as he really wants them.I was wondering if anyone thought hypnotherapy would be any use to him. Sorry it's taken so long to explain it. Regards Val.x

Well it's used for various phobias so it wouldn't do any harm. Expensive if it doesn't work though.

Valerie, my two sons and daughter all wear contacts and have done since early teens, though my daughter likes the fashion glasses still to wear.

At our Opticians we have a chap who only deals with contact lenses, not the optician himself. He was very patient with my three children.

They all wear the daily throw away type, which are more easy to manoeuvre to get in.

Which ones is your son having ?

It may help. One way to find out.

When I used to use them I used to deliberately put them on the white of the eye (it takes nerve to keep the eye open when aiming for the pupil) and then slide them over.

I him some of the daily ones for him to keep trying.Thank you Sammy & Geezer for your replies. Regards Val

I used to wear contacts and I pulled down the lower lid and put the contact in, resting it inside the lid and slowly released the lid so the contact slowly went toward the eyeball.

Thank you THECORBYLOON,I'll definitely get him to try that. Regards Val.
