Contact Lenses Care

This is very easy. Start by getting accustomed to touching the front of the lens while it is on your eye, and do this several times until you have overcome your nervousness. The lens acts as a kind of cushion so you will feel practically nothing. It is important, when you are doing this, not to allow your eye to roll upwards or to the side as this may carry the lens off the cornea. When you are able, quite happily, to look straight ahead with wide open lids while touching the centre of the contact lens, you are in a good position to remove the lens.

Slide the lens downwards on to the white of the eye below the cornea simply by placing the tip of your finger on the centre of the lens and then looking upwards — really, the reverse of the last part of the method described for putting the soft lens on the cornea. Once the contact lens is down on to the conjunctiva you will find it the simplest thing in the world to pinch it off the eye using the tips of the thumb and first finger. If your fingertips tend to slip on the lens, just dry them thoroughly and you will have no further problems.

It isn’t really necessary to slide the lens off the cornea before pinching it off the eye and many people pinch them directly off the cornea. But if you do this, be careful to ensure that the edges of your fingernails are turned well outwards so that there is no possibility of scratching the cornea. If your fingernails are very long avoid the pinching method altogether, or cut your nails to a safer, shorter length.

If you prefer to keep long fingernails, it is still possible to remove soft lenses safely but either you must wear rubber gloves or finger stalls, or resort to the method described for hard lenses in which the lid margins are pressed tightly against the eye above and below the lens and are then brought together to squeeze it off the cornea. Some people actually succeed in doing this by the standard hard lens method of pulling the skin back and up at the outer angle of the eye.

But because soft lenses are much larger than hard lenses and are more closely applied to the eye, it is difficult to ensure that the lid margins press on the white above and below the upper and lower edge of the lens and don’t just press the lens even more firmly on to the cornea. The tendency for the lids to do this is quite strong and you might well find that you are just not getting anywhere. If this is so, you would be better to fall back on the second method, placing the tips of your first or second fingers of both hands on the lid margins, and using your fingers to press the lids against your eye and squeeze off the lens. If you use this method, don’t put the fingertips back from the margins of the lids. If you do, the margins will roll outwards and not catch the edge of the lens. Also, be careful to place your fingertips exactly in the centres of the lid margins and not to the side and look directly ahead when you start squeezing.

All this takes much longer to describe than to do and once you have the knack you will wonder what all the fuss was about.
