How To Put In Contacts When You're Squeamish?

I went to have a contact fitting today, and it didn't go so well. I am really squeamish when it comes to anything having to do with the eyes. Can anyone please give me advice on how to do this?

    One thing my optometrist had me do for a couple weeks before I had a fitting was take a drop of water (at a comfortable temperature) and gently touching it to my eye, just to get used to having my fingers by my eyes. It also helps if you don't actually focus on (look at) the finger that's touching your eye... it's kind of like putting on mascara; you don't look at the big black thing, you look at what you're doing.

    Hope I helped!
