INSERTING YOUR LENSES 

 

Remove the lens from the blister pack and soak for 24 hours in a multipurpose solution before use. Before applying, rinse the lenses with saline solution or multipurpose solution. Place one of the lenses on to your index finger, making sure that the contact lens is the right way up. With your other hand, lower your bottom eyelid and gently place the contact lens on to your eye. Once the lens is on your eye, try to avoid blinking and look around gently so that the contact lens can position itself correctly. Remember to not wear them longer than our recommended 8-hour duration If you feel discomfort on insertion of the lens check that the lens has not inverted. Rinse the lens and reapply. IF YOUR EYE IS STILL IRRITATED AND DISCOMFORT CONTINUES, REMOVE THE LENS AND DO NOT REAPPLY IT UNTIL YOU HAVE CONTACTED YOUR SPECIALIST.

REMOVING YOUR LENSES 

 

Ensure you have washed your hands thoroughly. With one hand lower your bottom eyelid of the lens you wish to remove. With your other hand, use your index finger to gently move the contact lenses towards your lower eyelid. As the contact lens starts to contact your bottom eyelid and begins to fold, gently remove the lens from your eye.

CAUTION - Remove the lenses and consult a doctor in the case of redness, burning, foreign body sensation or excessive lacrimation, blurred vision or other vision problems. Diuretics, antihistamines, decongestants, tranquilisers, antidepressants and birth control drugs can cause dryness in the eyes; in this case, you should consult your optician.

Ensure your contact lens solution is within its expiry date every time you place your contact lenses back into the container and never use running water to rinse them. Do not wet the lenses in your mouth.
