You saved me so much! I was forced to get acrylic nails because I am in my friend's quincenera, and I was literally crying because I couldn't get them out.
is this safe? is there any possiblities that taking them out this way could tear the lenses??

@TheLollipopAhh From personal experience, I have been using this method to remove my contacts for over four years now and my eyes are still okay. There definitely is a possibility, especially if your nails aren't filed properly. However, I have never tore my lenses removing my contacts. (I've torn my lenses cleaning my contacts before, but never in the actual removal process) Hope that helps :)

@jieunbyk I do use my nails, but I don't poke my eyes with my nails! I put the nail of my thumb against my waterline and I look down, thus moving my iris down towards my nail. Then, the contact lens, which is covering my iris, will touch my nail and I can squeeze it out.
