Contact Lens Remover Tips

A contact lens remover from a reputable company should be able to assist you in the removal and insertion of your lenses with relative ease. For removing, wash your hands with a non-perfumed hand soap and thoroughly dry them. If you wear a soft corneal lense, it is particularly important that you do not handle your contacts with wet hands because this may warp the lens. Then, with the removal device, place the lens in its proper container.

For insertion, your first step is still to thoroughly wash and dry your hands before handling your contacts. Take some elementary precautions such as closing your drain to avoid any mishaps. Place the lens, with the cup side up, on your forefinger. Gently take hold of your upper eyelid and situate the lens in the center of your eye. At the same time, hold the bottom part of your eye with your middle finger. Always start with the same lens every time to avoid confusion. When you insert and remove each lens, do not handle the surface with your fingernails, as this may cause scratching. Also, if you utilize a suction cup for the removal of rigid lenses, you must take care to place this apparatus in a soaking solution overnight.

For new contact lens wearers, it is also important to follow the prescribed timetable for wear to allow for adjustment. On the first day, the wearing time for a hard lens should be about 2 hours and then slowly increased on a daily basis until specified. For soft contacts, the wearing time should start at four hours and increase gradually in a like manner.

Proper removal and insertion with the right contact lens supplies can help you to maintain the quality and comfort of your contacts.
