probably takes about 3 weeks before you truly get used to them. When i first got contacts it took me about 30 minutes to put them in and 10 minutes to take them out. Now i can take them out in less than 20 seconds and put them in, in about 30 seconds. When you get used to them i always forget they are in and i have fallen asleep with them in numerous times because i forgot they were in my eye.
