Removing Contact Lenses- Step By Step

1. Wash your hands.

3. With the index finger and thumb of your other hand, find the contact lens, and pinch it gently up and out of the eyeball.

4. Blink to let your eye adjust.

Where do I store my contact lenses?

If you’re using a pair of reusable lenses like our monthly or 90-day styles, you’ll need to store the contacts safely in preparation for the next wear. To do this, rinse off the lenses with eye-safe solution, and leave them to soak in a sterile contact lens case. You can find both eye-safe solution and contact lens cases in our accessory section below.
