on 7/1/2006 What I do is look up and put my eye on the contact and slowly roll it down out of my eye. I always put drops in my eyes first.

on 3/31/2006 Try this: look to the opposite side or your eye and push it out to the side. It bunches up and is easy to pinch out - I just got contacts, and found that that is the easiest way to take them out.

Thank you so much for instructing me on how to take out my contact lens'. I had been trying for an hour and getting no results. I came to eHow.com and this tutorial helped me out a lot.
