Steps for Wearing and Removing Your Lenses

▼ 5 Steps to Wear Contact Lens:

Step 1: Wash Your Hands Wash both hands thoroughly using plain neutral soap without any grease or lotion. Dry both hands using towels with no cotton/paper fiber.

Step 2: Scoop Out the Lens Scoop the lens out of the case/blister with your finger bulb (fleshy part), placing the lens on the bulb of your index finger and make sure the edge of the lens curves inward.

Step 3: Move the Eyelids Use the middle finger of the hand holding the lens to pull the lower eyelid down gently, and the other middle finger (or index finger) pushes the upper eyelid up gently.

Step 4: Insert the Lens Looking straight forward, gently place the lens on the iris, which is the colored circle part of our eye.

Step 5: Complete the Process Move your hands away and blink your eyes for a few times. The lens would move with the eye ball and stick to the center of the iris.
