When you start wearing contact lenses, it can be a daunting experience. Today, more and more people are wearing contact lenses. Make sure you know how to use them before you start. Here are some important guidelines:

Examine the lens before you put it in

When you take the contact lens out of its holder, make sure it’s not inside out. If you put it in inside out, you’ll feel it immediately and have to start all over.

Clean your lenses

When you remove the lens, put it in the palm of your hand and irrigate it with contact lens solution. Then put it into its holder.

Give yourself time

Putting contact lenses in should not be rushed. Once the lens is in, blink a few times and let it settle in the eye.

Contact lenses and makeup

Put your contact lenses in before you do your makeup. Not only will you be able to see what you’re doing, your contacts won’t touch your makeup on the way in.

Carry a lens holder and solution with you

There are times that your lenses may feel scratchy or uncomfortable. Have the necessary accessories so that you can remove and clean them.
