When clearing US Customs (going to the US) you will need to scan your passport as well as provide finger print scan. The machine will also take a live photo capture, so look into the camera. It will ask you some questions and then spit out a receipt to which you see the officer.
Coming back into Canada is when you use the iris biometric scanner. You will need to slide your card into the reader then follow the prompts on the screen. I can't speak for people who wear contacts, but I wear my glasses and the trick is to stand close to the camera until you see the green squares/boxes and you're set. Your mileage may vary but I have not had a problem with over 20 flights this year.
