How Do I Insert and Remove My Contact Lenses?

- Inserting Contact Lens -


Correct


Incorrect

  • Close nearby drains.
  • Pour the right lens and storage solution from the case into your palm. (It is a good idea to get in the habit of always working with the right lens first to avoid mix-ups).
  • Make sure your fingers are clean and dry. (Dry fingers facilitate the handling since soft contact leneses tend to stick to wet fingers.)
  • Place the right lens on the tip of your index finger.
  • Using the middle finger of your other hand, pull and hold your upper lid so you cannot blink.
  • Pull down your lower eyelid, using the middle finger of your inserting hand.
  • Look up and place the lens gently on the lower white part of your eye.
  • Look down to position the lens correctly.
  • Slowly release your eyelid and close your eye for a moment.
  • Blink several times to centre the lens on your eye.
  • Sometimes, small dust particles trapped behind the lens during its placement can cause discomfort. To remove dust, slide the lens off and then back onto your cornea.
  • Insert left lens following the same procedure.

Quick Lens Care Tips

  • Always wash and rinse your hands thoroughly before you handle your lenses.
  • To avoid getting your lenses mixed up, always apply (or remove) your lenses, one at a time, in the same order.
  • Never use eye drops or solutions that aren’t specifically for contact lenses.
  • Don’t use saliva to try and wet or clean your lenses.
  • Don’t sleep in your lenses (unless you wear lenses that are specifically designed for continuous wear and your eye care professional has prescribed them for that wear schedule).
  • Clean, rinse and disinfect your lenses every time you remove them.
  • Keep all your solution bottles tightly capped when you’re not using them.
  • Don’t let the tip of solution bottles touch any surface (including your fingers, eyes or lenses).
  • Never use expired lens solutions.
  • Never re-use lens solutions.
  • Never swap lenses with someone else.
  • Rinse your lens case every day and let it air-dry.
  • Replace your lens case every three months (or more frequently).
  • Don’t let cosmetics like soap, makeup, moisturizers or sunscreen touch your lenses.
  • Never wear your lenses when you’re going to be around irritating fumes or vapors (paint, hairspray, oven cleaner, etc.)
  • Don’t swim or go in a hot tub while wearing your lenses.
