Why are you supposed to remove contact lenses before removing your eye makeup?

I know that contacts shouldn't touch your makeup. It's hard for me to take my contacts out without touching any of my makeup, though. .. so wouldn't it make sense to remove the eye makeup first?

    Take them out first, then clean before you put them away. Because when you rub your eyes, etc, to take off makeup, you could get makeup under the contact.

    I've always thought that you have to remove the eye makup before the contact lenses. Did your optometrist tell you that?
