Most important discovery about putting in soft contacts!!! Here is what I do:

Most instructions tell you to put the lens on ONE finger tip, which doesn't work for my thin lenses.
I use TWO finger tips, holding the lens on both sides. Place the lens in the eye, and it goes right on, no curling, falling out, etc!

Try the two finger method. And remember, you're not touching your eye, the lens is. You REALLY have to F-up to get any kind of eye infection.
