Inserting the lens into your eyes.

1. Rinse your lenses with multi-purpose solution before you put them in.
2. Put one of the lenses on the tip of your index finger. Make sure the lens is in a bowl shape if not flip the lens inside out.

3. Hold the upper eyelid from above with one finger of your left hand (Fig 1).
4. Place the lens carefully on the middle of the cornea, holding the lower eyelid down with the middle of the right hand (Fig 2).
5. Slowly release upper eyelid, look down and gently close your eye (Fig 3).
Repeat the same procedure for the other eye.

Remove the lens from your eyes.

1. You may want to use a lubricating and rewetting drop just before you remove your lenses.
2. One or two drops in each eye will moisten the lenses and make them easier to remove.
3. Remove lens with thumb and index finger.
Repeat the same procedure for the other eye.
