Inserting Contact Lenses: A Step-by-Step Guide

Inserting contact lenses can seem daunting at first, but with practice, it becomes a quick and easy part of your daily routine. Here's a breakdown of the process:

  1. Wash Your Hands: This is the most crucial step! Thoroughly wash and dry your hands with a lint-free towel. You don't want to introduce bacteria or debris to your eye. You can learn more about Hand Hygiene here.

  2. Prepare the Lens: Remove one lens from its case. Rinse it with the recommended Contact Lens Solution to remove any debris.

  3. Inspect the Lens: Place the lens on the tip of your index finger. Examine it closely. Make sure it is not inside out. It should look like a tiny bowl with straight edges. If it has a lip, it's inside out. Also, check for any tears or damage. A damaged lens should be discarded. Knowing what to look for in a Damaged Contact Lens is important.

  4. Position Your Eyelids: Use the middle finger of your dominant hand to pull down your lower eyelid. Use the fingers of your non-dominant hand to lift your upper eyelid and keep it away from your eye. It may help to look straight ahead into a mirror. This helps prevent blinking.

  5. Insert the Lens: Slowly and steadily bring the lens towards your eye. Look straight ahead and gently place the lens onto the colored part of your eye (the iris).

  6. Release Your Eyelids: Slowly release your eyelids. Blink a few times. This helps the lens settle into place.

  7. Check for Comfort: If the lens feels uncomfortable, remove it and re-rinse it with solution before reinserting. If the discomfort persists, consult your eye doctor. Understand Contact Lens Discomfort and what to do about it.

  8. Repeat Repeat this process on the other eye.
