The Complete Guide to Contact Lenses: How to Care for Your Lenses and Your Eyes
- Here, we’ve compiled a comprehensive guide to help you navigate the world of contact lenses—from how to safely insert and remove your lenses to handling discomfort and recognising the signs of an eye infection.
- How to Place Contact Lenses in Your Eyes: A Step-by-Step Guide
- Wash and Dry Your Hands: Always begin by thoroughly washing your hands with soap and water. Dry them with a clean towel to avoid any contamination.
- Prepare Your Contact Lens: Open your contact lens case and gently place the first contact lens in your non-dominant hand.
- Rinse with Contact Lens Solution: Always rinse the lens with a suitable contact lens solution. Never use tap water.
- Check the Lens: Place the lens on your index or middle finger. Check the shape of the lens. The edges should curve up to form a bowl. If the lens is inside out, gently flip it.
- Open Your Eyes: Look in the mirror and hold your upper and lower eyelids open with your non-dominant hand.
- Insert the Lens: Look straight ahead or slightly up. Carefully place the lens on the surface of your eye.
- Adjust the Lens: Close your eye slowly, and either roll your eye around or press gently on your eyelid to help the lens settle. Blink a few times to check that the lens feels comfortable and that your vision is clear.
- Repeat for the Other Eye: Follow the same procedure to insert the second lens.
How to Remove Contact Lenses: A Step-by-Step Guide
- Wash and Dry Your Hands: Clean your hands thoroughly before touching your lenses.
- Gently Pull Down the Lower Eyelid: Use the middle finger of your dominant hand to gently pull down your lower eyelid while looking up.
- Remove the Lens: Use the index finger to slide the lens to the white part of your eye. Pinch the lens gently with your thumb and index finger to remove it.
- Clean the Lens: Place the lens in the palm of your hand and add contact lens solution. Rub it gently for 30 seconds to remove any dirt or debris.
- Store the Lens: After rinsing, place the lens in your contact lens case and cover it completely with fresh solution.
- Repeat for the Other Eye: Follow the same steps to remove the second lens.
What to Do if a Lens is Uncomfortable
- Contact lenses may feel slightly uncomfortable when you first start wearing them. Here are a few tips to help resolve any discomfort:
- Dryness: If your eye feels dry after putting in the lens, use moisturising eye drops specifically designed for contact lens wearers.
- Irritation or Scratchiness: If the lens feels scratchy or causes irritation:
- Do Not Rub Your Eyes: Rubbing can damage the lens and worsen the irritation.
- Remove and Rinse: Wash your hands, remove the lens, and rinse it thoroughly with contact lens solution to eliminate any debris.
- Inspect the Lens: Check the lens for any damage. If the lens is torn or cracked, discard it and use a new one.
- Reinsert the Lens: If the lens is undamaged, rinse it again and carefully reinsert it into your eye.
- If the discomfort persists or is accompanied by redness, burning, or swelling, it’s best to stop wearing the lens and consult your optometrist.
What Are the Symptoms of an Eye Infection?
It’s important to recognise the signs of an eye infection so you can seek medical help promptly. Common symptoms include:
- Redness and swelling in the eye
- Eye pain or discomfort
- Sensitivity to light
- Excessive tearing or watering
- Discharge from the eye
- Blurred vision

If you experience any of these symptoms, remove your contact lenses immediately and contact your eye doctor for further advice.
