How to Put Contacts in Small Eyes
- 1). Wash your hands. In addition to being one of the ways through which germs enter the body, eyes are also extremely sensitive. Any residue or particulate on your fingers that get transferred to your contacts will cause discomfort.
- 2). Remove your lens from its container and rinse it with saline. Place it on the tip of your index finger and examine it to ensure it is not inside out. If it forms a u-shaped bowl with its edges pointing straight up, it is not. If, however, the edges flare out slightly, then it is inside out. Inserting a lens in your eye that is inside out will not cause any harm, but it will feel strange and fall out easily when you blink.
- 3). Use the hand that is not holding the lens to pull apart the lids of the eye in which the lens will go. Roll your eyeball upward so you are not looking directly at the lens. This is helpful because it reduces the blink reflex, which makes it difficult to keep your eyes open.
- 4). Place the lens on the bottom part of your eye. From that eye, it will look as though your finger is touching directly below your field of vision. Slowly close your eye and roll it down to position the lens and let it settle.
