/Putting in and taking out contact lenses may feel tricky at first, but don’t worry! With a little practice, it gets easier.
How to Put In Your Contact Lenses
Step 1: Wash Your Hands
Always start by washing your hands with soap and water. Dry them with a clean towel.
Step 2: Take Out One Lens
Start with the same eye every time (left or right) so you don’t mix them up.
Step 3: Place It on Your Finger
Put the lens on the tip of your index finger. It should look like a bowl with the edges up. If the edges flare out, it’s inside out, flip it over.
Step 4: Hold Your Eyelids
With your other hand, hold your upper eyelid so you don’t blink. Use the middle finger of your lens hand to pull down your lower eyelid.
Step 5: Look Straight or Up
Gently place the lens on your eye. Look in front of you or up, whatever feels easier.
Step 6: Blink Slowly
Let go of your eyelids and blink a few times. The lens should feel comfortable. If not, take it out, rinse it with a solution, and try again.
How to Take Out Your Contact Lenses
Step 1: Wash and Dry Your Hands
Always start clean!
Step 2: Look Up
Use one hand to gently pull down your lower eyelid.
Step 3: Pinch the Lens
Use your thumb and index finger to gently pinch the lens and take it out. Be gentle!
Step 4: Clean or Throw It Away
If it’s a daily disposable lens: throw it away.
If it’s reusable: clean it with solution and store it in your lens case.
Tips to Remember
Always handle lenses with clean, dry hands.
Never sleep in your lenses unless your doctor says it’s okay.
Don’t use water to clean them, only contact lens solution.
If your lens feels uncomfortable, take it out and rinse it.
