Tired of wearing glasses? Try wearing contact lenses. A contact lens is a thin lens you place on the surface of the eye. Contacts can be worn to correct vision or make your eyes look a different color. There are many different kinds of contacts to choose from. There are the daily, weekly, monthly, etc. If you choose to wear daily contacts, this means by the end of the day when you finish using them, you throw them out. This will cause you to be less likely to get an eye infection. However, choosing this is much more pricey.
Another option is to wear weekly or monthly contacts which you must clean and keep in a special case. If you don’t clean your contact lenses, you can get an eye infection which can be very irritating. Your eye doctor will tell you how to clean and take care of your contacts. When you first put your contacts on, it can be very tricky. Especially if you have sensitive eyes.
There are many different ways to put contacts in. I suggest to do what is most comfortable for you. Always remember to wash your hands before touching your eyes and putting contacts in. First put your contact on the finger you are most comfortable with using. Make sure your contact isn’t inside out. If there’s any dust on your contact, make sure to clean it with solution. Now use your index finger of the opposite hand. Gently pull your upper eyelid upward and lower eyelid downward. Gently place the contact on your eye and try not to blink. For some people it helps to look up or to the side.
After a long day of wearing your contacts, it’s time to take them out. Pull your upper eyelid upward and lower eyelid downward, just as you did to put them in. Now take your index finger and thumb and pinch your contact out. If you do this correctly, it shouldn’t hurt. If you keep your contacts in a case, remember to clean it morning and night and replace your solution. If you’ve just started wearing contacts, it’s better to start out by only wearing them six hours. When you get more comfortable with your contacts, you can wear them longer.
