What is your preferred technique for removing Hydro 02 contact lenses?

Little Elvis,

My preferred method is to cup my hand under my eye while looking down, focus on a line open my eye wide, and use my other hands index finger and pull towards my ear and blink.

The other method I have used was to get the RGP lens removers (suction cup with a handle). You just look straight ahead and place the remover directly on the lens and twist and pull and voila it's out.

I prefer method 1 over any other.

Hope this helps you!

Regards,
Tom

Hey, thanks for your time. I think there are some other questions on Lens 101 about that suction cup thing, did you see those?
Isn't it weird to actually stick that thing in your eye? A lot of people can't cope with the sight of a clear, soft contact lens coming at their cornea. How do you put a suction cup to your eye without fleeing in panic?
