How to Professionally Put in Contact Lenses

Putting in contact lenses for the first time can feel intimidating, but with the right steps and a bit of practice, it becomes easy and natural. Whether you’re a beginner or someone who’s picked up some bad habits, here’s a step-by-step guide for putting in your lenses comfortably and safely.

Step 1: Wash Your Hands

Always wash your hands thoroughly with warm water and soap, then dry with a clean, lint-free towel. Your eyes are very sensitive, so hygiene is the first key to comfort and safety.

Step 2: Check the Lenses

•New lenses: Rinse with your contact lens solution before placing them on your finger.

•Used lenses: Make sure there are no tears or debris. If the lens is damaged, discard it immediately. Remove any makeup or dust using the proper solution.

Step 3: Place the Lens on Your Finger

Make sure the lens is in a concave shape (bowl side up) before touching your eye.

Step 4: Open Your Eye Gently

•Use your middle or ring finger to pull down your lower eyelid.

•Use your other hand to lift your upper eyelid if needed.

Step 5: Insert the Lens

•Place the lens directly on the iris or on the white of your eye and blink to position it.

•If it doesn’t work the first time, stay calm and try again.

Step 6: Ensure Comfort

•Blink several times and move your eyes up, down, left, and right to check that the lens sits correctly and your vision is clear.

•If you wear different prescriptions in each eye, always start with the same eye first to avoid mix-ups.

Step 7: Remove Air Bubbles

•If you feel discomfort due to air bubbles, gently move the lens with your finger or massage your eyelid.

•If discomfort persists, remove, clean, and try again.

Step 8: Keep Eyes Moisturized

•Dry eyes can happen after long wear.

•Use lubricating drops designed for contact lenses to keep eyes comfortable and extend wear time.

Step 9: Enjoy Your New Look

Now you’re ready! Enjoy your colored or clear lenses with clear vision and comfort.

Tips:

•Always consult an eye doctor before trying new lenses to ensure they suit your eyes.
