So you want to get contact lenses? So you have contact lenses, but not quite sure how to put them in? I've been wearing contacts since the 8th grade and love them. Only time I wear glasses is when I'm sick or eyes need a rest. Great thing about contacts, you hardly know they are even there, unless they bother you where it's time to change them.

Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

Things You’ll Need:

  • Patience
  • Contact Lenses
  • Your own fingers

Step1
Example Take the contact out of the little package...(for me I do left side first). Depending if your a righty or a lefty..I'm a righty...I take my right hand and put the contact on my pointed finger (next 2 thumb) sitting on the top in the center.
Step2
Then take my left hand (middle finger) and lift my eyelashes on top up and with my right hand I use my middle finger to put eyelashes on bottom down. This allows access to your eye a little easier.
Step3
Face the contact directly to your eye and insert it. You may have some trouble at first and may get frustrated but after you do this a few times you'll be a pro at inserting contact lenses.
Step4
Repeat the same steps to insert the right eye.

Tips & Warnings

  • Sit at a desk, Counter, or somewhere that in case you drop your contact(s), it may be easier to find.
