Robert Pattinson is the Sissiest Vampire Ever

Robert Pattinson has admitted that he is still unable to get his contact lenses in by himself. When he is on the Twilight set, the 24-year-old actor still needs two people to help him get his colored lenses in.

In the latest issue of Entertainment Weekly, Pattinson revealed his frustration: 'My God, I'll be glad to see the last of those. I actually want to get some kind of plastic explosive. I want to reanimate them into something so I can kill them.

I'm sorry but it must be said. Most people I know who got contacts were scared of "touching their eye" at first, but everyone got over it... usually in about 2 minutes.

But Robert Pattinson has been squirming about it for years now. Maybe it's because he has the luxury of 2 assistants to hold him down. A little tough love won't hurt here... "contacts done in 5 or no million dollar salaries for you!"

Contact Lenses News :: Eye myths debunked

Plenty of myths exist surrounding eye care and vision and one news provider has set out to debunk them.

Dr Kenneth McCandless, an optometrist from Las Vegas, told the Las Vegas Review Journal it is untrue that people with dry eyes cannot wear contact lenses.

He said dry eyes "can cause more discomfort and decreased wearing time of contact lenses", but good optometrists can help evaluate the condition to help tailor individual treatment options.

This is very true, and good news for dry eye people!

I've always had dry eyes, so much that I participated in several contact lens studies for dry eyed people. However I still wear contact lenses, just not as long as most other people. I wear them for sports and some special events, but rarely for more than 5 hours at a time, often less than three.
