[b]Lens[/b]Contact lenses are medical equipment that must pass Fda requirements. When your touch lenses are brand new, they are sterile and free of any bacteria or germs. Eye infections are the most risk for touch lens wearers. While there is no way you will be able to keep them as clean as the first day you opened them, there are precautions you can take to keep your touch lenses as clean and germ free as possible.
First, wash your hands before you insert your touch lenses. Never handle your touch lenses with dirty hands. That is the surest way of transferring bacteria from your hands to your eyes. And always take the precaution of laying a clean, lint free towel or a clean paper towel down in the area you will be inserting your touch lenses. Do not let your touch fall into the sink where it can acquire any amount of germs and bacteria. On the same note, even in a pinch, do not "wash" your touch in your mouth. Saliva is full of bacteria and this practice can lead to a very serious eye infection that can be very hard to treat.
Once you are working with clean hands and in a clean environment, slowly shake your touch case to loosen the touch lenses in case they have slightly adhered themselves to the bottom or sides of the case. Do not try to pull a stuck lens out with your fingers. The tugging performance may tear the lens.
Place the touch into the palm of your hand. Squirt some of the recommended cleaning and disinfecting solution on it to rinse it. Equilibrium the lens on the tip of whether your index or middle finger. It is best to have dry fingers, since the touch won't let go as genuinely if your fingers are very wet.
Now, with your other hand pull up on your eyelid to open your eye very wide. If your are not squeamish and you have no problem putting something in your eye, you can insert the touch lenses directly over your cornea. If you have a very strong blink reflex or you don't like the idea of inserting touch lenses directly on your eye, you can whether look up or to the side and place the lens on the white area of your eye. whether way, once the touch is adhering to your eye and not your finger, blink slowly a incorporate times and the touch lens will adjust itself directly over your cornea. Then do the same with the other eye. It will take a bit of practice but, before you know it, you will know everything about how to insert touch lenses.
