Inserting and Removing Contact Lenses


LEARN HOW TO PROPERLY INSERT & REMOVE YOUR SOFT CONTACTS IN HAMILTON

 

Properly inserting and removing soft contact lenses is simple, but it does take some getting used to. Follow these steps to successfully place your lenses.

Soft Contact Lens Insertion

  • Always wash and dry your hands before handling contact lenses 

  • Always insert and remove your contacts over the sink, after making sure to plug the sink

  • Dip the fatty part of your finger into the contact lens case and lift straight up, The lens will stick to your finger 

  • Never scrape the lens up the side of the case—this will cause damage to the lens 

  • Make sure your fingers are dry before insertion , as soft contacts tend to stick to wet fingers 

  • Place the lens on the tip of the index finger of your dominant hand 

  • Using the middle finger of your other hand, pull and hold open your upper eyelid so you cannot blink 

  • Pull down your lower eyelid using the middle finger of your inserting hand 

  • Look straight at the lens and place it directly on the center of your eye

 

Soft Contact Lens Removal

 

  • Always wash and dry your hands before handling contact lenses 

  • Prepare your contact lens case: have it open and filled with fresh contact solution 

  • Make sure the lens is centered on your eye before trying to remove it 

  • As you look up, pull your lower eyelid down with the middle finger of your inserting hand, with your other hand, hold open your upper lid (as you did with insertion) 

  • Gently squeeze the lens between your thumb and index finger, and remove it from your eye

CUSTOMER REVIEWS

Great technology

Happy place, friendly service, much better than the last place I went to. They have really good technology that takes pictures of the back of the eye without drops, Dr.Sheikh was really informative and explained things about my retina that I have never knew existed.

Definitely worth the extra money for that. I didn’t have to take time off work to let dilation drop wear off.

Friendly service

Been going to the downtown location for several years.

Always had friendly service and great care taken of me.

 

When I first went to them as a student they always found me the best deals and discounts and worked with my student insurance easily.

Love them

I have trusted Steve Sanger and previously his father, Rodney, for over 30 years. I do not trust anyone else with my eyes.

He has recently partnered with Dr. Shaker which only makes his service offering even better. I highly recommend anyone that needs contact lenses to consult Steve and Dr. Shaker to ensure that their eyes are healthy and seeing at their maximum potential.
