      I wore contacts for years, although I don't anymore. It can take a while to get used to putting them in your eye, but the trick is to not place it directly on your pupil. You will find that very difficult.
      When putting them don't use a mirror. Don't need it. Just lean over the surface of where ever you are, use your other hand to open top and bottom eyelids, look to the left or right and put the contact on the opposite corner on the white of the eye. Then use your finger to move it around the eye area so it's not sticking, then position it in the right spot. When removing them just do the same thing.
