Inserting contact lenses

The individual contact lenses are individually stored in blister packs (plastic cases) with a sterile contact lens solution sealed cover sheet - never use a contact  lenses from a damaged or already opened blisters! Shake the blister to release the lens in a sterile solution, and then went easily removed. Tear off the foil from the blister.

Contacts can be carefully removed by fingers or can be, along with a sterile solution, poured into the palm. Do not use fingernails to remove the lens - can be so easily damaged!

Today, there are also special silicone tweezers, which can easily removed the lens without damage.

Before contact lenses insertion

For ease of reference when handling the lenses you get used to always start with a lens designed for the same eye (it is up to you whether you define right or left) to avoid confusion between the lenses.

When removing the contact lens from the solution, which is cleared overnight, it can happen that will be bonded. In this case, it lay in his palm, lightly moisten it with fresh contact lens solution and very gently in the palm of linear movements of the index finger of the other hand knead. If this does not help, save the lens again for some time in the solution in the case. After some time, the lens should be compared to its original shape.

Put your contact lens on your index finger pad. When it happens that the lens does not bowl and stick to your finger, it means that it is too wet. In this case can help displacement lenses from finger to finger - the lens you get rid of superfluous moisture, lens will keep the right shape, and better will be deployed.

Make sure the contact lens is clean and intact - chipping or tearing the lens of the eye definitely pass! Seen from the side then make sure the contact lens is inverted upside down. That recognize either the lens-shaped (bowl is right, plate wrong), according to numerical or alpha tag on the upper edge of the lens (if you're reading is upside down, the lens is inside out) or that the edges of the lens as if keys scroll the middle (that's right).

If you deploy the lens of the eye upside down, nothing happens - eye and lens won't be harm. Improper use of reduced comfort you know, the lens tends to be summarized in the eye, the wink in the eye of more moves.

Inserting contacts in the eye

Lens have now located on the tip of the index finger. Zoom the hand in to eye on that lens deploy, facilitator of the same hand lay just beneath the lower eye lashes and pull the lower eyelid. Fingers of the other hand lift the upper lid. Slightly bow your head, but look up. Now you are in optimal position to use the lens on the cornea by mediator.

It is good to attach the contact lens to monitor the mirror because you can keep a better eye open and unblinking. Gently place the lens in the eye when the eye is its whole surface, keep an eye open, the lens begins centering herself, she is steady on the cornea.

Look down and gently depress the bottom first then the upper lid and slowly close the eye. If you eyes closed too abruptly, you could cap the lens of the eye push. Blink and see if the lens of the eye properly established. You should see clear and you should not feel lens like uncomfortable. Repeat with the other lens.

If the air is under the lens or lens is not properly centered, vision is blurred, in the case of minor impurities, the lens is uncomfortable. Close your eyes and gently rub through the upper lid to move the lens. Lens can also move your finger directly on the eye by moving away from the nose to the back and centered itself. This movement is mostly all small particles from the eye rinse.

If the lens of the eye remains negative, from the eye to remove it and rinse solution. If the deployment would be a discomfort persists, immediately remove the lens from the eye and see your eye specialist.

After the very first insertion of contact lenses do not have the feeling of complete comfort or security of the deployment of the lens. Everything but the time and repetition, and will automate increasingly easier. There are several ways to attach contacts, such as a method to hand over his head or downloading just one cap, in time you go alone to their own system. In the case of make up with contact lenses can also find their own procedure, in which the lens as little makeup contaminates.
