How to Put In and Remove Contact LensesFirst time users of contact lenses will quickly need to overcome two things about contact lenses--putting them in and taking them out.
First time users of contact lenses will quickly need to overcome two things about contact lenses--putting them in and taking them out. While you feel that you've gotten enough practice during your fitting exam with your doctor, it's actually a different story once you try to do it by yourself at home. If you are just putting your lenses in for the first time, youll notice that it can be a bit tricky to get the contacts in your eye. This is perfectly normal, as it takes time to get good at it. After a few days or weeks of practice, you'll be an expert in doing it. To help you with inserting and removing your contacts, just follow the tips listed below. Inserting Your Contacts It's very important to ensure that your hands are thoroughly washed and dried before you even touch your contacts. Once your hands are clean, place a contact lens on your index finger and add a drop of solution right in the center of the lens. Using the thumb of your other hand, pull down the lower eye lid of the eye you will be inserting the contact lens into, then look up with that eye. Now take your index finger with the lens on it and carefully place it into your eye. Remember not to immediately close your eye--just leave it open for a few seconds to allow the contact to settle. When you close your eye after several seconds, your contact should be perfectly in place. If it somehow doesn't feel right, remove it and try again. While it might take you a few tries to get it done, you'll be better at it in no time at all. Removing Your Contacts As always, ensure that your hands are thoroughly clean and dry. When you're ready, look up with your eye, then gently use your fingers to grab the contact on its sides to lift it out. When the contact is finally out, you should blink a few times to clear your eyes. If this fails and the contact doesnt want to come out, moisten your eye with some eye drops and try again. It could be difficult, but with a little practice, you can usually get it on the first try. Once you have worn your lenses after a few days or weeks, you'll soon get the hang of it, and will be able to insert and remove them in a matter of seconds. In fact, it will become second nature to put them in and out, eventually proving that contact lenses aren't only a great innovation to vision correction, they're easier to use than most people think.
