" Hi, Sorry it took so long to respond. All I can say is be patient it can take alot of tries. I have been in 16 times two kinds of lences and still have none. I have been going in for over a year. It is not like that for everyone and I am just not having much luck. I do not handle the contacts well. I also have never worn them before and am finding it really hard. Again I am a hard fit. I think most people do fine and can handle them. I just do not know if I will ever be one of them. I wish you so much luck and hope that you have success quickly!! "
