Can you provide information about the best way to insert and remove a contact lens?
|

There is a site which is helpful in describing contact lens insertion and removal, assuming you are wearing soft contact lenses. It is

I have very long fingernails...so what I do is put a few drops of rewetting drops in my eye, take my index finger and pull my eyelid to the side and blink...and out pops the lens...you might have to try it several times before you get it..but keep trying..." IT WORKS "

How do I take out a sofe len contact

Slide the lens with your index finger to any exposed area of white(sclera) and you can safely pinch it off from there. It also helps to put in rewetting drops just before removal.

I have a lot of trouble getting the lens in without it folding in half because it hits my eyelash first or one side touches the eye before the other. I also have trouble telling which side should go on the eye and which faces out. Can you help me? I wear acuvue2 disposables.

put the contact on ur finger like ur about to put it in. Then hold the contact up to a light. If u look carefully u can see numbers. If it reads 123 frontwards it is the right way. For acuvue2 contact lenses. from ur friend fat albert the twenty second.

Any magic secrets to get the lens to not stick to my finger while inserting? It gets to be quite agrivating and time consuming.

How do I keep it from sticking to my fingers. Tried wet and dry finger tips. Takes over an hour of agrivation to finally give up and go back to glasses for the day.

try not to get the finger to wet or completly dry. hold your lashes away from your eye and hold your bottom lid away also, then with your pointer finger, touch the whole lens onto the eye and grab the upper lashes to bring it down and then you should heve no problems. i do this and its worked for me. ps, TRY not to blink!

No. They only come in 8.6 base curve, 14.5 diameter - the same as Durasoft lenses.

Just a few small details that helped me alot (I had this very problem for a month or so until I realised what was wrong). After you washed your hands and took a lens with your left hand fingers squeeze the lens gently making it look as "Y" so that the "bottom" of the "Y" touches the point where the fingers meet. Wait a bit to allow the extra liquid drain down onto your fingers. Then dry the pointer finger of your right hand. Then, very important, dry the fingers your are going to stretch the eyelids with! If not done so, the eyelids constantly slips back. When you managed to "stick" the lens onto your eye try to "glue" it with very gentle circular moves. You will see that the lens sticks to the eye more and more. Then detach the finger when the lens is "glued" more to the eye than to the finger. That's it! It takes me a few seconds for both eyes now! And, with little training, I managed to not to stretch the upper lead at all (I may occasionally need to do so in the very end, to secure the lens on the eye). Good Luck!

Get yourself RGPs. They take two seconds to put in and take out. If they are fitted OK they are more comfortable than soft lenses and don't fold up, dry out etc etc.
