I got long fingernails and want to keep it. Lately I noticed that my vision starts to get blurry and need to wear contacts soon. I heard it's difficult to put it on if you're first time user. Can I keep my long fingernails or should I just cut it for now? Any tips for wearing contact lens is very much appreciated. Thank you.

My wife has long nails and wears contacts, she puts them in and removes them with ease using the pad of her finger.

The pad of your finger... the part where your finger print comes from.

You do not use the tip of you finger, you use the pad of your finger (like mentioned above). If you do indeed need contacts, your Eye doctor or their Optician will train you on how to take care of them and how to put in and take out lenses. If not, you can always ask.
