If you have never put contact lenses in before, it’s a good idea to drop in to your local OPSM store where a team member can show you how to do it. We offer free in-store contact lens trials, so you can experience them first hand.
If you’re having trouble, try practising touching the white part of the eye without a contact lens a few times before inserting the lens. If you find that your contact lens is folding over, it means you are blinking before the contact lens has settled, in which case you may want to try holding your top eyelid too.
Once your lenses are in place, wipe their case with multi-purpose solution and leave it to air-dry. You should replace the case every three months.
Packaging design may vary
As with inserting lenses, if it’s your first time, an OPSM team member will be happy to show you how.
