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.

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.
