Inserting and removing a soft hydrogel lens

i just can't do this! I just blink my eye so much :S

Great video! I'm new to contacts and still find it a bit hard to put them in/out. I do it just like in the video but i find it kind of hard to know if the contact lens has been pulled down to the white part of the eye or not (when removing them).

You should feel that with your finger, or by the change in vision that the lens causes by being pulled down.

I dunno if I still want to buy contact lenses anymore...looks kinda creepy when removing it....

Well, there is no other way!

yes. If you look very hard, you can see an outline of the contact

well the person wiped the eye causing the contact to go to the eyelid. it may get infected that way and i wouldn't suggest it.

Actually, you can't just grab the lens and take it out, when the wearer is looking straight ahead.If you do, you'll likely press the limbus (the thin zone between the clear cornea and the sclera, the white of the eye), and cause great discomfort, as this zone has a lot of nerve supply. By looking up, dragging the lens down and then removing it, you actually pick up the lens from the sclera, and you avoid discomfort and irritation.

Both lids are in touch with the lens continuously during wear, so infection cannot occur in regular use. If the is a blepharitis, (inflammation of the lids), the wearer simply should not wear lenses for a while. If on the other hand the lenses are infected, they simply should be discarded.
