Inserting and Removing your Contact Lens: Easier Than You Think!
Most contact lens wearers remember struggling in front of a mirror the first time they tried to insert or remove their lenses. As they soon learned, inserting contact lenses follows the old saying - practice makes perfect.
For everyone from first time contact lens wearers to experienced contact users, here are a few helpful tips to show you how to properly insert and remove your contact lenses.
Inserting Your Contact Lens
Place the contact lens on the end of your clean, dry index finger
Using your other hand, pull and hold your upper eyelid so you cannot blink
Pull your lower eyelid down with the middle finger of your hand
Look upwards and gently place the lens on the lower white part of your eye
Look downwards so you can position the contact lens correctly
Slowly release your eyelids
Close your eyes for 10 seconds
Blink several times. This will help the lens center itself on your eye.
If the lens is uncomfortable, it may be because of small dust particles trapped behind it during placement. If this happens, simply slide the lens off to the side of your eye with a finger, and then move it back to the center.
Removing Your Contact Lens
Before doing anything, ensure that the lens is centered in your eye
Look upwards and pull down your lower eyelid with the middle finger of your hand
Bring your index finger close to your eye until it covers your field of vision
Touch the lower edge of the lens and slide it down to the lower white part of your eye
Gently squeeze the lens between your thumb and index finger
Remove the lens from your eye
Follow the contact lens care regimen recommended by your eyecare practitioner
