Unable to mail this directly to you I had to post it:


Well, 10 years ago when I first tried contacts (hard),
the doctor put them in my eye and I passed  out!  I really scared
him; he said he never saw anyone have such a bad reation. He worked
in Columbia Pres. Hospital in NYC --one of the best.
I think what bothered me most was having someone ELSE put them in
my eyes. 
He made me come
back once per week and practice infront of him before he gave me them
to me to take home. My eyes always teared up. But, he said I had an incredidable
amount of determination, and he was sure that I'd eventually be able to wear them.

Before him, my former doctor said 
I could never wear them since "my eyes were too sensitive". He was wrong.
I have been wearing lesnses ever since.

Good luck
