How to wear lens

Preparing to insert
Hygiene is an essential part of preparing to insert your lenses.

Always wash and dry your hands thoroughly, removing traces of anything that may contaminate the lenses, before handling.



Inserting your lenses
Remove lens from packaging

Try to make a habit of handling the right lens first; this will prevent you from mixing up the lenses.

Place the lens on your index finger and check the lens is clean and the correct side up.

Hold your upper lid open with your left hand's index and middle finger, at the same time hold your lower lid open with the middle finger of your right hand. Looking straight at your eye in the mirror, slowly and gently place the lens in your eye.

Carefully release your eyelids and blink.

You can gently massage your eyelid to centre the lens.

When you are sure the lens is correctly inserted, repeat the procedure for the left eye






Removing your lenses
 Wash and dry your hands thoroughly.

Look upwards and hold down the lower lid with the middle finger of your right hand. Placing your index finger and thumb of the same hand on opposite sides of the lens, slowly slide the lens down to the white of your eye. Gently pinch the lens from your eye, taking care not to pinch too hard.

Repeat for the other eye.
