- 1). Wash your hands thoroughly. Rinse off every last trace of soap before handling your lenses.
- 2). Use your thumb and forefinger to take the first lens out of the contact lens case. Rinse both sides of the lens with multi-purpose contact lens solution (see Resources for steps on putting in your contacts). Position the lens on the fleshy tip of your forefinger to get it ready for insertion.
- 3
Inspect the shape of the lens as it sits on your forefinger. If it appears to be a smooth C-shaped curve, it is ready for insertion. However, if the edges flare out (see image), it is inside out and has to be corrected before insertion or else it will hurt your eye and give you blurry vision throughout the day. - 4). Repeat Steps 2 and 3 for the other lens.
