Video Transcript

"Hi! My name is Elton Hall and I'm here at Texas State Optical in Austin, Texas. I'm here on behalf of Expert Village, and I'm going to show you how to care for your contact lenses. We're going to be talking about how not to rip contact lenses. Depending on how strong they are, some people's hands are pretty rough. What you want to do is when you're getting ready to clean it or just get it out of the case. See how it's folded up just like that? You want to make sure that you get unfolded. It needs to be wet. It needs to be moist, so you want to make sure that you get solution and put it on there. If did get stuck, you can actually take it and rub it just a little bit. It'll kind of release itself and it'll open up. There you go. Make sure when you put it in the case itself, make sure that you put it directly in the middle. Some people put it on the edge. If you can't see it, make sure you put your glasses on if you can't see it. Make sure that it's right in the middle of the case and close the case."
