Make sure that your fingers are clean and dry. (Dry fingers facilitate handling as soft contact lenses tend to stick to wet fingers)

Remove your lens from the storage case.

It is a good idea to get in the habit of always working with the same lens first, the right or left, in order to avoid mix-ups.
-
Rinse your lens with the solution recommended by your eye care practitioner to remove all traces of debris.

Place the lens on the tip of your index finger.
-
Using the middle finger of your other hand, pull and hold your upper lid so that you cannot blink.
-
Pull down your lower eyelid, using the middle finger of your inserting hand.
-
Look up and place the lens gently on the lower white part of your eye.
-
Slowly release your eyelid and close your eye for a moment.
-
Blink several times to center the lens on your eye.

Sometimes small dust particles trapped behind the lens during its placement can cause discomfort. To remove dust, slide the lens off and then back onto the front of your eye.

Insert the other lens following the same procedure.
