Wash and dry hands thoroughly.

Step 2
Close sink drain before removing lenses and place a towel down, as well, to catch the lens if you should drop it.

Step 3
Place a few drops of a wetting solution in the eye to loosen up the lens.

Step 4
Look up and use the index finger to gently slide the contact lens in a downward direction. As soon as it is down, use thumb and index finger to gently grasp the lens and pull it off of the eye. Very gently rub the lens to unfold and restore it to its original shape.

Step 5
Place lens in storage case and cover with storage solution. Replace storage lid with correct marking (right or left). Repeat process for second lens.

Step 6
Let me know if you find this helpful.
If you've been wearing contacts since 1964, is there anything here that you didn't already know? If you've been wearing contact lenses for 45 years, I don't know what I can tell you that you haven't already tried. I hope you were able to find something helpful here.
