Contact lenses can be a huge relief for those of us with bad eyesight. They let us see the world clearly, allow us to participate in sports more comfortably, and they give better peripheral vision. Also, not having to wear glasses all the time can be a dream come true, but contact lenses definitely still come with some frustrating inconveniences.

1. Putting your contacts in and immediately taking them out because of a tiny hair/fiber rubbing against your eyeball

It is amazing how such a minuscule particle can hurt so much.

2. People’s horrified reactions to you touching your eyeball

Eyeballs aren't that gross, people!

3. Forgetting to take your contacts out before going to sleep

Its hard to remember to take them out every single night.

4. Not being able to open your eyes when you go swimming

Goggles FTW!

5. Losing a contact lens in your eye

And spending the next few hours looking for it.

6. When your eye starts randomly hurting only for you to find out that your contact has bent or torn

Cool, I love only being able to see with one eye.

7. Having a contact lens fall out of your eye

And sometimes having to put it back in your eye without properly cleaning it.

8. Forgetting your contact case and making one from scratch

Desperate times call for desperate measures.

9. Putting your contacts in the wrong way feels like this

10. Finding old, hardened contacts all over the floor

It's pretty nasty.

11. Forgetting to pack extra contact lenses for a sleepover

Wondering whether to sleep with your contacts on or throw them away and be blind for the rest of your time there.
