2. Handling the Lenses:
Develop the habit of always working with the same lens first to avoid mix-ups.
Remove the lens from its storage case and examine it to be sure that it is moist,
clean, clear, and free of any nicks or tears.
Rinse the lens thoroughly with fresh, sterile saline solution before placing it on
your eye.
3. Placing the Lens on the Eye:
Position the lens on the tip of the index finger of your dominant hand. With the
middle finger of the same hand, pull the lower eyelid down. Use the middle
finger of the other hand to gently raise the upper eyelid by lifting the lid just
above the eyelashes.
Look straight ahead gently place the lens on your eye.
Slowly release lids, close your eyes, and then open them slowly. The lens should
center automatically.
Repeat the procedure for the other eye.
There are other methods of lens placement. If the above method is difficult for
you, your eye care practitioner will provide you with an alternate method.
Note: If after placement of the lens, your vision is blurred, check for the
following:
The lens is not centered on the eye (see “Centering the Lens,” next in this
booklet).
If the lens is centered, removed the lens (see “Removing the Lens” section)
and check for the following:
a. Cosmetics or oils on the lens. Clean, rinse, disinfect, and place on
the eye again.
b. The lens in on the wrong eye.
c. The lens is inside out (it would also not be as comfortable as
normal).
