Correct Insertion Of Contact Lenses
By Search EzineArticles.com
It is important that you insert your correctly to maximize
their effectiveness and reduce the chance of damage to your Contact
Lenses or your eyes. If you take your time and follow these simple tips
then you should be able to put your in easily.
Before you begin to insert your you need to make sure
that your hands are clean and dry and check that your
are clean, wet and undamaged. If you have been chopping chillies really you should have put your lenses in first but try to ensure that all chillie juice is off your hands because if its not you will soon find out! Same goes for if your lens is damaged. It will feel like you have a boulder in your eye and that lens should be immediately discarded.
Place one of your on the tip of your finger of whichever
hand you prefer to use. Then pull down the lower lid of the appropriate
eye with the middle finger of the same hand. You can
then use your
other hand to keep the upper lid open wide.
Next you should look directly at the Contact Lens on your finger and place
it directly onto your dark colored cornea in the centre of your eye. This is a bit like poking yourself in the eye but with practise you will get the finger to eye speed just right!
Let go of your eye lid slowly. If you find that you have air bubbles under
the contact lens you can remove them by closing your eye and gently
rolling your eyeball around. Do not rub your eyes.
Trust me once you have done this a few times you will wonder why you were concerned and you will stop taking half an hour to put your lenses in!
