Inserting Contact Lenses

Contact Lens Care Set

If you are inserting contact lenses for the first time, it may take you a few goes but with time you will get used to it. There are a few main steps and points to consider when putting in your Halloween contact lenses. Follow the steps below for the correct way to do it. It tends to be easier to put lenses in in a well lit room in front of a mirror and over a clean surface (in case you drop your lens accidentally, if you do make sure you wash it in saline solution and check for damage before you reattempt to put it in your eye).

1. Wash your hands before you start so they are clean and germ free.
2. Put your contact lenses in before you do any make up.
3. Check your contact lenses to make sure they have no rips or tears.
4. Make sure your lenses are clean. Wash them with some saline solution to get rid of any dirt that may get into your eye.
5. Use either your finger or, soft tipped tweezers like the ones in the picture to remove the contact lens from its case, and place it on the top of your index finger.
6. The lens should have the brighter side downwards and the edges of the contact lens should not curve outwards. If they do then the lens is the wrong way round.
7. Use the hand that is holding the contact lens to pull the bottom of your eye down. Look either straight ahead or slightly up. Use your other hand to pull your eyelid up and carefully place the contact lens in your eye, making sure you don’t blink.
8. Make sure the lens is over your iris then release your hands and blink to allow the lens to adjust itself.
9. Repeat these steps for putting the other lens in your other eye.

Once you have put your Halloween contact lenses in, finish off your look with some awesome Halloween makeup and a funky attention grabbing costume. Stand out with bright colours and an imaginative costume for an awesome look.

Removing Contact Lenses

When you need to remove your contact lenses simply follow the steps below.

1. Wash your hands thoroughly so they are clean.
2. Use one or both hands to hold your eye open.
3. Place your index finger on the lens and gently move it to the outer corner of your eye.
4. Pinch the lens gently between your finger and thumb.
5. Lift out of your eye.
6. If you plan to keep your contact lenses, place in a clean contact lens case like the one in the picture above, with plenty of fresh contact lens solution.

Coloured contact lenses are a great fashion accessory but you may be wondering: Can I buy contact lenses without prescription? Many people assume that you need to get a prescription in order to buy coloured lenses, or pay for an expensive optician’s appointment. This is not always the case and if you do see an optician, it needn’t be expensive or difficult. You can buy contact lenses without prescription either from brick and mortar shops or online shops like YouKnowIt.com. To do this you do not need a prescription but the law varies in other countries, so always check out law for your region.

How To Buy Contact Lenses Without Prescription

When used properly, non-prescription contact lenses are safe and easy to use. However failing to do so can put your eye health at risk, so we advise all our customers to do their research before buying. A good contact lens shop should be willing to answer any questions you have and give you lots of assurance about the safety and hygiene of their products. For example here at YouKnowIt.com we can tell you where the lenses where manufactured, provide safety certificates and answer all your questions. If you have any reservations about the quality of contact lenses, don’t buy them – your eyes deserve the best. I recommend reading as much as you can about how to use contact lenses, how to clean them and how to keep your eyes healthy. Before buying lenses from a store, make sure you can answer the following questions:

1. Are the lenses from a reputable brand/store?
2. Has the store answered all my questions?
3. Were the lenses manufactured under adequate safety regulations? E.g. the EU Cosmetics Directive.
4. Do I know the expiry date and life span? This is how long you can wear the lenses for and when they should be discarded.
5. Do I know how to insert and take out the lenses?
6. Do I know what contact lens care products I will need?
7. Do I know how to clean the lenses?
8. Am I confident about using them?
9. Do I know what to do if I have a problem with the lenses?

Only buy non-prescription contact lenses if you feel informed and happy about using them. If you are worried about the lenses, quiz the shop and speak to an optician – they will be able to answer your questions and advise you on the best options. I also recommend going straight to an optician if you cannot remove a lens, or if you experience any discomfort that continues after you have removed the lenses.

Are Contact Lenses Without Prescription Safe?

As I have said, non-prescription contact lenses are completely safe, as long as you use and clean them properly. It is important to keep your lenses clean at all times, because wearing dirty or damaged lenses can lead to discomfort or even an eye infection. You should clean them with contact lens solution and store them in a sterile contact lens case. For more information check out our other blog posts and the information pages on this site. As long as you are fully informed and careful with your lenses, they pose no risk to your eyes. As I said above, if you have any worries while wearing non-prescription lenses it is best to consult an optician. Take your lenses with you and they will be able to check both that the lenses are safe and that you are using them correctly.

Coloured contact lenses are a great way to change the colour of your eyes and impress your friends on a night out, however many people may ask the common question ‘are colour lenses safe?’ when deciding to buy these type of colour contact lenses as it has been said to cause damage to your eyes. This isn’t a wrong fact as contact lenses can cause eye infections if not treated properly, therefore it is important to care for your colour lenses before and after wearing them. This will keep your eyes from getting any irritation and let you wear your colour lenses time and time again without any harm.

Look After Your Colour Lenses

The most important factor when looking after your colour lenses is to keep them clean. The cleaning process only takes a few minutes before and after wearing the lenses and requires a contact lens storage case and solution. Simply fill the storage case with solution and place the contact lenses inside each compartment. Screw on the lid then gently shake the case to remove any dirt that may have transferred onto the lens. This will prevent the dirt from transferring into your eye causing irritation and infection.

Circle contact lenses are a great way to impress your friends by giving the illusion that you have a very large iris, making your eyes look a lot bigger. Follow these easy steps on how to wear circle lenses in order to make sure you put them in the right way, otherwise not only can you damage your lenses but you can also cause irritation and damage to your own eyes. Also make sure you have the correct accessories to store and look after your lenses as contact lenses are very delicate and require care to keep them clean.

How To Wear Circle Lenses in 6 Easy Steps

1) Take one the circle lenses out of the storage case and place it on your index finger. Make sure your circle lenses are on its proper side by checking the edges of the lens. If the edges are protruding outwards the contact lenses are on the wrong side.

2) Using your other hand lift the top of your eyelid up and hold it there.

3) Use the hand that is holding your contact lens to pull the bottom of your eye down then carefully place the contact lens in your eye, making sure you don’t blink.

4) Gently move the circle lens into the middle of your eye using your finger so that it is centered over your iris.

5) Release your hands from your eye and blink to allow your lens to adjust itself.

6) Repeat for your other eye.

Before inserting the circle lenses into your eyes, make sure you have cleaned your hands with warm water to prevent any dirt or bacteria transferring to your lenses. Make sure the contact lenses have been cleaned and have been kept in contact lens solution. If you are having difficulty placing the contact lens onto your finger, use tweezers to pick them up from the storage case as forcing your fingers onto the lens may cause it to rip or misshape.

Cosmetic Contact Lens Storage Case

Fill a contact lens case with contact lens solution then place your contact lenses inside the compartments. Make sure the case lids are properly secured then shake it gently to dislodge any residue, then take them out and put them on when getting ready for a night out. Even if your contact lenses look clean make sure you wash them before and after using them regardless as they may still have dirt or bacteria on them. Only use contact lens solution when cleaning your lenses as water will damage them and never wipe your lenses as this can make them tear.

When you are out and about it is important to never rub your eyes with them in as this will also cause them to tear or dislodge in your eye which can cause damage to both your eye and the lens.

Coloured contact lenses are a fun fashion accessory but it is very important to take care of them properly. Good contact lens care will protect your eyes, eliminating the risk of eye irritation. This is very important because wearing dirty lenses or not taking proper care of them can lead to eye irritation and soreness. In this post I am going to outline some basic contact lens care guidelines that will help your take proper care of your contact lenses. As long as you follow these guidelines, wearing coloured contact lenses is safe and easy to do.

Contact Lens Care Guidelines

Most contact lens care instructions boil down to two things: practise good eye hygiene and do not take unnecessary risks with your eyes. The most important thing is to keep your lenses clean, so that they cannot introduce dirt and germs into your eyes. Fortunately this is relatively easy to do and there are just 2 things you will need: contact lens solution and a contact lens case. You should keep your lenses clean by rinsing them with solution and storing them in a contact lens case. Another important thing is to wear your contact lenses for the correct length of time – coloured contact lenses are intended to be worn for up to 8 hours at a time. Wearing them for longer could make your eyes dry and irritated. Most contact lens care is just common sense but here are my contact lens care guidelines to get you started:

1. Always wash your hands
2. Clean lenses before and after wear
3. Clean only with lens solution – water harms lenses
4. Store lenses in a lens case filled with solution
5. Check lens for damage before inserting
6. Wear lenses for up to 8 hours, no longer
7. Do not go to bed wearing lenses
8. Never wear a damaged/dirty lens
9. Never share lenses with others
10. Remove lens immediately in event of discomfort
11. Consult an optician if you are concerned about wearing lenses

Contact Lens Care Products

As previously mentioned, there are two things you will need to take care of your lenses: contact lens solution and a contact lens case. You will need one case per pair of lenses. You can also buy contact lens tweezers, which allow you to pick up the lenses without touching them. Tweezers are not essential but I recommend them for people with long or fake nails. If you have long nails it is easy to tear a lens, but contact lens care tweezers have soft tips that prevent this. Here at YouKnowIt.com we have a great range of contact lens care products, including a great value Contact Lens Care Set with everything you need.
