Make sure that your fingers are clean and dry. (Dry fingers facilitate handling as soft contact lenses tend to stick to wet fingers). |
| |
Remove your lens from the storage case. |
| |
It is a good idea to get in the habit of always working with the same lens first, the right or left, in order to avoid mix-ups. |
| |
Rinse your lens with the solution recommended by your eye care practitioner to remove all traces of debris. |
| |
Place the lens on the tip of your index finger. |
| |
Using the middle finger of your other hand, pull and hold your upper lid so that 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. |
| |
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 the front of your eye. |
| |
Insert the other lens following the same procedure. |
