Always wash your hands with a mild
soap and dry with a lint-free towel before touching
your lenses. |
|
Clean, rinse and disinfect your lenses
each time you remove them. |
|
Always handle the same lens first
to avoid mixing up the right and left lenses. |
| |
|
| Inserting
the lens into your eye |
|
You may want to rinse your lenses
in a multi-purpose or saline solution before you
insert them. |
 |
|
Put one of the lenses on the tip of the index
finger of the hand you write with. Be sure the lens
is right-side-out (the edges should turn up, not
out). |
|
Look straight ahead. Pull down your lower eyelid
with the middle finger of your other hand. |
|
Pull the top lid up with the other hand and look
up. |
|
Gently place the lens on the lower white of the
eye. |
|
Remove your index finger and release
your eyelid. |
|
Look down, and close your eyes for
a moment. The lens will center itself. |
|
Repeat for the other lens. |
| |
|
| Removing
the lens from your eye |
|
You may want to use a lubricating and rewetting
drop just before you remove your lenses. One or
two drops in each eye will moisten the lenses and
make them easier to remove. |
 |
|
Look up and pull the lower lid down with the middle
finger of the hand you write with. |
|
Place your index finger on the lower edge of your
lens, and slide the lens down to the white of your
eye. |
|
Squeeze the lens lightly between your index finger
and thumb and remove gently. |
|
Repeat for the other eye. |
|
If the edges of your lens stick together,
place a few drops of saline or multi-purpose solution
on the lens and rub gently until the edges separate. |
