------------------ ARTICLE START ------------------

As a new contact lens wearer, you have 2 main obstacles to get

past – putting your lenses in and taking them out.

Sure, you practiced in the doctors office, but once you get in

front of the mirror by yourself it’s a whole different ball

game!

I’ll never forget my first pair of contacts and the freedom

they brought me. I picked them up at the doctors and he helped

me put them in. I walked out of there like a new woman! Later

that night, however, trying to get them out was a nightmare! I

just wasn’t used to sticking my fingers in my eye and it took

me more than ½ hour to finally get them out. By the time I was

done, my eyes were all red and I swore I’d never wear contacts

again! But of course I did and it soon got easier to take them

out.

Like anything else, after a few days or weeks of practice, you

will be quite comfortable with your contacts, but in the mean

time, here’s some tips that might help you out.

Putting In Contact Lenses

Wash your hands thoroughly before handling your lenses. Make

sure your hands are dry. Put the lens on your index finger and

put a small drop of solution in the lens so that it sits in the

bowl of the lens – not too much so that it spills out and the

lens flops over. Pull down your lower lid with your thumb and

look up with your eye. Bring the lens to the lower white part

of your eye – it should slip right on your eye. Release your

lower lid, blink and your lens should be in place. I find that

sometimes the lens will want to stay on your finger instead of

going on your eye. If this happens make sure your finger is

very dry and try not to spill the solution out of the “bowl” of

the lens as you bring it to the eye.

Taking Out Contact Lenses

Again, make sure you wash your hands before taking out your

lenses. Dry them off good as the drier your fingers are the

better the lenses seem to “stick” to them. Look up and use

your index finger to slide the lens down to the outer corner of

your eye, a the same time, bring your thumb up to meet the index

finger and “pinch” the lens. It should come right out between

your fingers. Use a gently pressure – don’t poke at your eye.

If the lens doesn’t seem to want to move, put some eye drops in

your eye to wet it a bit and hopefully this will help you slide

it down
