My eyes' protective reflex is so strong that it once took about five
minutes for an opthamologist to measure the internal pressure of my eye
(i.e. a `glaucoma test'), usually a 10-second procedure.  I simply could
not keep my eye from blinking or moving.  But I refused to be talked out
of getting contact lenses--and I'm glad.  The first few times I put the
lenses in were shear agony; not that they were uncomfortable once
inserted, but simply from the effort of keeping my eyes open while
putting a foreign object in them.  I've worn (soft) contacts for several
years now, and never have problems inserting or wearing them.  In brief,
I got used to them in a matter of days.
