I am one of those unfortunate people who cannot see clearly, and therefore need spectacles or lens to see. I have been using spectacles for approximately 10 years or so. During those time, I tried to use contact lens from time to time. And I am not ashamed or afraid to admit that I never could get the hang of it.
I still need to use contact lens from time to time when I either break or lose my specs.
Most of the time, I end up with red eyes and tears running down my face. Don't get me wrong, I do get them in, sometimes even fairly easy with not much tears. And of course very rarely, at the first try.
I even went as far as to shamelessly admit it to my optician that I don't know how to put the lens in!! He very kindly showed me how to do it properly. Even after that, I still don't get it. I thought I did everything the same, but it's the same sad story again, tears running down my cheeks.
I know everything theoretically, put the lens onto the tip of forefinger, open eyes wide with middle finger and the other hand; bring the forefinger to the eye, just touching the eye; then leave the lens, look down, take the middle finger, then take the other hand away, that should do it.
But the lens always get folded somewhere or, some air trapped in it, etc. etc. and so on.
I have heard that some people don't even need a mirror, they just do it. Why can't I be among those people?
Is there anyone out there who's got the same problem as me? Any suggestion at all would be welcome.

Meeeeeeee!
I started reading novels when I was in class 4 and addicted to TV and video games. And now I am always in front of the computer from the moment I wake up till I sleep (err... its a part of my job).
So yes, my eye-sight is EXTREMELY bad, but I wear lens all the time. And yes, I dont need a mirror. I can easily put it in anywhere, anytime, anyhow. It comes with practice I guess, after years of lens wear.
Air getting trapped is ok. You can always adjust your lens to let the air out.
The main problem is the folding that you mentioned. Here's what I do.
Catch the lens on the tip. Drop the solution on it (a luang tlang nan) so this way all the dirt or residue is washed off. Now take your dry clean finger and touch the remaining few solution present on the lens. This way, all the solution comes to the dry hand (a hip ang). Now you are ready to put the lens on your finger and put it into your eyes. This way, the lens will not fold.
