Contact Lenses are becoming increasingly popular as they are made to be more comfortable and to be worn for longer periods of time. When a person is first starting to wear contacts, it can be a little overwhelming. Most people are able to quickly get used to wearing these lenses and rarely experience major issues. With these helpful tips, newbie contact wearers can have an easier time growing accustomed to their new lenses.
* One of the biggest problems newbies have is knowing if their contact lens is inside out. To find out if a lens is inside out, form it into a cup and place it on the tip of your finger. If the lens edges flare out and form a ‘U”, the lens is inside out. If it forms a bowl, it is on the right side and is ready to be put in place. If a lens is placed on the wrong side, it will feel uncomfortable but will not cause any damages to the eye.
* When it comes time to apply a contact lens to the eye, the person needs to wash their hands carefully before handling the lens. Rinse the lens thoroughly with cleanser and then place it on the tip of your finger in a cup shape. Use your fingers to open up your eye and apply the lens to the iris of your eye while looking upward. This takes practice and can be frustrating at first. Taking the time to practice the process can allow people to grow accustomed to the placement of contact lenses in Colorado Springs CO
* Removing a lens is typically easier than placement. It is important to carefully wash your hands before removal. The lens can be removed by looking to the side and gently placing your finger over the lens and pulling down. It is imperative to be careful with your fingernails, so you do not scratch your eye or damage your lens.
