Using Contact Lenses Congrats! to you all for continuing to try and wear contacts. I've been wearing them for 22 years and they are the best compared to glasses. I'm now hoping that my 14 yr old son will be able to wear them. I don't recall having a problem putting them in but taking them out was a little frustrating. Here's the way I do it, I put the contacts on the top of the pad of my middle finger and pull down the lower lid with my ring finger of the same hand (sometimes I pull down the lid with my other hand). I glance up a little and usually off to the outside. Then place the contact half way down the colored part of my eye, look down slowly and then back up. Sometimes I have to close my eye for a couple of seconds. You may hear a slight suction noise while the contact moves into place on your eye. Once you figure out that the contact covers most of the surface of your eye, I think it's almost easier to take the contacts out without looking in a mirror. Pull the contact down toward your lower lid and pinch. Try not to look around while you are doing this because the contact works itself back into place. GL All! |
