When you decide to switch from glasses to , getting used to putting them on can be a little tricky, especially if you have never worn soft contact lenses before. If you’re new to contact lenses, you might think that you’re going to struggle to put them in and take them out, but with a little practice, you’ll find that it’s not as difficult as you thought.

Here is a step-by-step guide to help you put on soft contact lenses:

Step 1: Wash your hands

The first and most important step before putting in or removing your contact lenses is washing your hands. Make sure that your hands are clean and free from any oil, lotion, or other substances that could transfer onto the lenses and irritate your eyes. Use a mild soap and dry your hands with a lint-free towel.

Step 2: Open the package

Once you’ve washed your hands, it’s time to open the package containing your soft contact lenses. Be sure to handle them carefully as they are delicate items. Remove both lenses by gently squeezing them out of the packaging onto the palm of your hand.

Step 3: Examine the lenses

Before putting your contact lenses in, you’ll want to inspect them to make sure that there are no tears, cracks, or other damage to the lenses. Hold the lenses up to the light, and if you see any damage, dispose of them and start over with a fresh pair.

Step 4: Add the lens to your fingers

With the lens on the palm of your hand, take the lens with your index finger and make sure that it is correctly positioned. With your other hand, hold your upper eyelid open while looking up. Place the contact lens gently onto the lower part of your eye. Try not to blink or move the lens around while putting it in.

Step 5: Repeat the process

Repeat the process for your other eye, being sure to use the correct lens for each eye. If you’re not sure which lens goes on which eye, look for the numbers or letters that should be visible on the lens packaging.

Step 6: Blink your eyes

After you have inserted both contact lenses, you can now blink your eyes a few times. This will help you properly adjust the lens on your eyes and reduces the risk of bubbles forming under the lens.

Tips for success

Putting in and taking out soft contact lenses takes some practice and patience. Here are some tips for success:

– Make sure your hands are always clean and dry when handling the lenses.
