Removing Your Soft Lenses the Right Way
Email This Post
Removing your soft lenses the right way is easy, but very important. So here are the steps you should follow every time (even late at night when you can’t wait to go to sleep):
First, stand in front of a mirror and make sure there is a towel on the sink or counter below you. Be sure your hands are clean and dry.
Put a few rewetting drops into each eye.
Next, check that your lens positioned correctly in the center of your eye.
Keep your head facing forward and look up with your eyes only, then pull down your lower eyelid with your middle finger.
Using your index finger, slowly make contact with the lower edge of the lens.
Slide the lens down to the lower white part of your eye. This is very important to prevent scratching your cornea.
Grasp the lens gently between your thumb and index finger and remove it from your eye.
Then stand on one foot and whistle The Star Spangled Banner (just seeing if you were paying attention!).
Remove the other lens and follow the same procedure.
Remember to always follow the lens care procedures recommended by your eye care practitioner! Creating a routine for removing your lenses will ensure that your eyes remain safe.
