The trick ... balance lens on index finger of dominant hand. Squeeze a drop of saline into the lens. This will help it suck into your eye when the time comes.
Getting as close to mirror as possible while still having room to work, use thumb and index finger of non-dominant hand to hold your eyelids as far apart as possible without injuring yourself.
Bring lens toward eye, using iris as a landing zone. It doesn't have to be perfect.
If the lenses are properly measured, they will just pop right in. Blink a couple times to settle the lens in place.
Starting off with daily wears is better because the lenses are thicker and go in and out more easily.
Taking out ... do the holding your eye open thing with your non-dominant hand. You remove the lens by "pinching" it out of your eye. This is not as scary as it sounds. Contact the upper and lower surfaces of the lens with your fingers, and bring the fingers together as you blink.
You should now have a slightly crumpled contact lens in your hand.
