Inserting Contact LensesIf you have never worn contact lenses before, the procedure for inserting them onto the surface of your eye may initially seem quite daunting. However, with practice inserting your contact lenses can become as routine an activity as tying your shoes or applying your makeup. Here are a few tips that can make the procedure go easily for you: Wash Your Hands Tip: Before handling your lenses, you need to be sure to wash your hands with fragrance free soap to remove any bacteria. Also, avoid using perfumes or lotions before inserting your contact lenses. Then, make sure your lenses are clean and free from deposits or rips.
Additional Tips If your eye feels irritated after inserting your contact lens, remove the lens and blink several times to clear dust or eyelashes off your eye. Then, rinse the lens with solution and try again. If the problem persists, try another pair of lenses if you are using disposable contact lenses or contact your optometrist. Also, it is a good idea to have your eye doctor walk you through the process the first time to be sure you are doing it properly. And for all of you ladies out there, a general rule of thumb is to put hairspray on before putting in your lenses and put makeup on after putting them in. With a little practice, most people are soon inserting their contact lenses without a second thought. |
