    10 minutes? It should take 10 seconds.

    Do not use your nails. It is a terrible habit to start and eventually you will give yourself a bad infection, or scrape your eyeball.

    For me the blink method works. I gently pinch the bottom of the lens, then blink, causing it to buckle and pop out.

    did you not have a try out like an exercise at your docs before you started using lenses..?? Well i did.
    Nails?? taking it out with your nails is a very bad idea, tell you why, one of those times you r for sure going to poke your eyes( which had happened to me because my nails were too long although i dont tk em out with my nails)and nother thing is you're going to have a tear or a scratch in your lenses, not to metion both the poke n the scratch is going to mk you feel very uneasy.

    Yeesh, I wouldn't think it'd be good for your eyes. Go to a real full-fledged opthamologist and ask him/her. Is your issue with eye dryness? I had that, and had to stop wearing contacts for a month because of tiny pits in my whatsit (cornea? whatever the surface part is). Wearing them could really damage your eyes, so definitely see an opth-ist.
