Users must take utmost care while both applying and maintaining contact lenses. And wearing lens in the exact way asks for some steps to follow. Following are those steps:
1. Before touching the lens or solution, gently wash your hands. But don’t use oily or scented soaps, moisturizing lotions and lanolin containing products for that.
2. Always ensure that you are wearing the lens for right eye to the right eye and left eye to the left eye e.g. Suppose you are using ‘Renu’ by Bausch & Lomb. Now, on one of the case covers it is always written Renu. R for Renu, R for Right. So, you can always put the lens for right eye in that case and left one in the other to avoid confusion.
3. Sometimes the lens may get stuck. Just don’t try to pull it out with your finger as it can cause permanent damage to your lens. The best way to loosen it is to gently shake the case.
4. The most preferred way to take out the lens from the solution case is to slide it out of the case and keep it on your palm to rinse it with the solution.
5. Make sure that the tip of the middle or index finger is dry before placing the lens on it.
6. It is better to pull down the lower eyelid and pull up the upper eyelid at a go while putting the lens on the eye. For that use the thumb and other fingers of the other hand.
7. Look upward or forward, whichever is comfortable for you, while placing the lens. Another interesting way is to put the lens on the white part of the eyes, close the eye lids and gently rub your fingers on it in a circular way. Open your eyes after a few seconds and you will find that the lens got placed at the exact place.
8. Finally, take a close look in the mirror to confirm whether the lens is placed at the right place or not. You yourself can feel it if it gets placed perfectly as the vision will be clear without any kind of discomfort.
