Do you have a trick for putting in and taking out contact lenses?

I’m a glasses girl, but every few years or so I try contacts. I usually stop using them after 6 months or so usually because they are too hard to put in and take out.

My O.D. put lenses in my eyes when I left the office and I had such a hard time taking them out that now my eyes are all sensitive and red.

Do you have any neat tricks that work for you? I’d like to at least have the option of not having to wear glasses.
