Default Putting Contact Lenses In

Your eye care practitioner should be able to provide you with more complete information about the safest and easiest ways to insert your contact lenses.

but here is one method:

1st – Wash and rinse your hands thoroughly

1) Remove your 1st lens from the case and make sure that it is clean, clear, and undamaged.

2) Rinse the lens out (follow the instructions of your eye doctor).

3) Make sure the lens is right side out.

4) Place the lens on the tip of your index finger (right or left depending on whether you are right are right or left handed).

5) Keeping your head up you need to down as you pull your upper eyelid upward with the middle finger of the hand not holding the contact lens.

6) Then look upward and pull your lower eyelid down with the middle finger of the hand holding the contact lens.

7) While still looking up, use your index finger to gently place the lens toward the bottom of your eye.

8) Keep holding the lids open and let your eyes slowly move down. Then slowly remove your hand from your lower eyelid.

9) Then remove your other hand while looking straight ahead.

10) Close your eye and then gently use your finger to secure and center the lens on your eye by patting the eyelid.

11) Repeat the same procedure with your other eye.
