Is there a trick to getting contacts in?

The trick is to gently hold the contact on the eye for about 1 second and then very slowly move the eyeball back and forth slightly. This helps the fluids on your cornea pick up the contact from your finger. Without blinking, move the eyeball slowly down and then around to secure the lens in the eye.

What if I can’t get my contact lens out?

1. Push on the opposite sides of the contact lens using the index fingers on either hand.

3. The goal is to press the lens from either side so that it moves forward and comes out easily.
