-Hey guys, it's Brooklyn.
And today I'm going to be teaching you guys how
I put my contacts in and out.
I got a few comments asking me to do a video about this,
and since I do have contacts, I thought
I'd be able to make this video.
And I'm just going to be showing you guys how I put them in
and how take them out, and how I clean them.
And all that fun stuff.
But first, I want to tell you the story of my contacts.
Which is basically, when I first started using contacts,
all that fun stuff.
I think I was nine maybe, I don't remember how old I was.
How old was I?
I don't even remember.
Some young age, below nine.
That I realized I could not see clearly
without like glasses, or something.
And so we got glasses, and I remember telling my mom, whoa,
I can actually see the leaves on the trees.
I can actually see all the details of the world.
It's pretty awesome.
My mom thought that was pretty funny.
But after a while, glasses got kind of annoying.
You had to carry them around, take them on and off,
all that stuff.
So we decided to get contacts.
And I remember the first time I tried to put them in,
I was having such a hard time.
I seriously could not put them in.
I finally got them in and then by the time
it was time for me to take them out,
I didn't want them to take them out.
Because I was just like, it took me so let me put them in,
I didn't want to take them out.
So since my mom did not have contacts,
and neither does my dad, neither of them even have bad eyesight.
They did not know how to do it.
So I had to go to a friend's house
and she had to lay me down on the bed,
and literally pull the contact from my eye.
Because I would not do it myself.
And then after that, she taught me
how to take them in, how to take them out.
And I just sat in front of the mirror
and practiced for an hour, so I would know how to do it.
And then a couple days later, is still took me a half an hour
to take them in and put them out.
Now I can do in like 10 seconds, because it's
been like since I was nine.
How many years is that?
A long time.
Seven or something like that.
Anyways.
It's been awhile.
Five.
Five years.
Thank you.
It's been a while.
So, yeah that's kind of my story.
So I will show you guys how I do that.
Start off, the saline solution I use
is called Multipurpose Solution, from Costco.
And I want to show you guys my contact case.
And I got this at Forever 21.
And you put your contacts in here.
It's got a little mirror.
Keeps it safe.
And then I was going to show you guys,
on your contact case, your real original contact case,
it has a blue and white top.
And this is for people astigmatism.
Astigmatism is when one eye has worse eye sight, basically.
And so you have to get two different contacts.
And if you get them mixed up, you
won't be able to see because one eye will
have the wrong contact, and it'll be a whole jumbled mess.
So they do this.
They make one blue, and one white,
and it's so you know that the right one is the blue one,
and the left one is the white one,
so you won't get your contacts mixed up.
Luckily, I do not have a astigmatism,
so I do not need to bother with that.
But for those of you do, be sure you put them in the right spot.
Bailey, on hand, does have astigmatism,
so she uses this a lot.
So you are not alone, if you have a astigmatism.
Bailey has one too, so don't feel bad.
OK.
Now I'm going to show you guys how
I put my contacts in in the morning.
And it usually takes me a little while, only like five minutes
or so, not too long.
Op, slippery.
Sometimes it's hard to get them out of here,
because they are all covered in solution,
and they're slippery because I have the soft contacts.
I was going to tell you I have the monthly contacts.
And you can wear them for a month, and they won't go bad.
Yeah, but some people have the daily contacts,
where they put them in in the day,
and then they have to change them daily, and stuff.
I don't know.
I don't do those, so if you do those, cool,
but I was just going to say that I take my contacts out at night
because I feel like it's more cleaner.
I don't know, I feel better, more awake
if I put them in in the morning, but is totally
OK if you keep them in at night.
I just have a weird habit, I take them out at night.
OK.
So I'm going to pull my contact out,
and I'm going to place it so that the edges curl up
on my finger.
And sometimes you can fill it with contact solution,
if it's not already filled.
Sometimes it's easier for it to go on your eye
if it has a few drops of contact solution.
And sometimes, a little too much.
You're going to turn, take your middle finger,
pull your lid down, and then you're
just going to want to take your finger with the contact
on, it and place it in the middle of your eye.
And it'll feel weird, and cool, but that's totally OK.
And then your just going to want to blink.
And it will look like I'm crying, but I'm not crying.
I promise I'm not sad, no theatrics here.
It makes your eye, sometimes it will
make your eye red, that's perfectly fine.
It will go away.
It's just because it's like the effects of crying
because it's salt water in your eye.
Is totally fine. and I'm sorry if my mascara is running,
because I wore make up for you guys.
Normally I don't wear my makeup.
I put this in the morning when I wake up out of my bed.
But I wore make up for you guys for you guys
so I could be pretty for the video.
But that is how you put your contacts in.
After wearing your contacts all day,
it's time to take them out.
And so I'm just going to take my saline solution that I used
before, and I'm going to just dump it out.
And normally I would use a sink, but since I'm in the studio,
I brought a towel so that the saline solution does not
go over me.
You're going to take your case, and you're
going to just rinse this out a bit with saline solution.
Not a lot.
Just enough that you can mix it around,
get all the little germs or whatever
left over from the used contact solution,
and then dump that out.
And then you're going to fill it up
with new solution, each of the little circles.
And you can fill about half way.
You don't need a ton, just enough that the contact
is submerged enough to be cleansed all night.
Now you're just going to reach with your bottom lid.
I usually use my middle finger, and I just pull my bottom lid
down, and I take my pointer finger and my thumb,
and I just reach in, and I grab my contact.
And you can pinch it, so it kind of
looks like this, which will look really funny.
And then you just pull it off your eye.
And there you have your contact.
And you'll place in one of the circles,
roll it around, put the lid on, and you're
good to go for the night.
I hope this video helped all of you who are starting out
of contacts, or don't wear contact
or were just curious on how it works of contacts.
I hope this video helped you.
