No, actually the people at Lenscrafters were peaches. When I ordered them I had to go in for a regular exam and they measured my eyes. I have never needed glasses or contacts so they gave me a clear pair to practice with. They spent about 30 min with me teaching me how to take them in and out. I found it a bit scary initially but got the hang of it pretty quick. If you are use to applying make up on your eyes I don't think you should have too much trouble and the effect is well worth the grief.
