Try putting the contact on your index finger and lower your bottom eyelid with your middle finger. Then put the contact gently on the lower part of your eye and slide it up to where it needs to be.

Answerpull down the lower lid of your eye with your right hand and hold the top up with your left hand. Then using the index finger of your right hand put the contact i your eye. Wait for a second then slowly remove your hand. The contact should stay in place on your eye. AnswerI put the left hand over the top lid and pull it up. I hold the bottom lid down and place the wet contact on my middle finger I hold my head straight and roll my eyes to look down. I touch the lens on my eye making sure my lashes dont touch the lens. The key is looking down with my eyeball. AnswerIt is easiest for me to hold my eyelash with my left thumb and my lower eye with my middle finger, with the contact on my pointer finger. I like to keep all of my fingers dry also. AnswerWhen I got my contact lenses, my eye doctor lectured me on how I should be careful about putting my germy fingers near / in my eyes. He gave me this funny looking gadget that lets me put my contacts in without touching my eyeball! It's called an Eye Pod. Hope this helps!

You will first want to make sure your hands are clean as you'll be touching your contacts and eyes with them so wash well.

Carefully remove the lens from your case. Give it a gentle shake prior to removing it from the case so the solution can loosen the lens should it be stuck to the case at all. Next, slide the lens into the palm of your hand and rinse with the correct contact lens solution.

When your index or middle finger is dry, or mostly dry, place the contact lens at the tip of the finger. With the fingers and thumb of your other hand, pull open your upper and lower eyelids.

Position the lens on your eye while looking upward or forward. Close your eye gently, roll your eyes in a complete circle to settle the lens into place and then blink.

Double check the lens placement by looking in the mirror to see that it is centered on the eye. Your vision should be clear and the lens should feel comfortable in your eye if it is correct.

Repeat the steps for the second eye.

Wearing contacts can be annoying and at times, painful the first few times you wear them. Making sure the contacts are thoroughly moistened with wetting solution can help with irritation.

How do you get your contact lens out?

A contact lens rests on the tear layer of the eye. If the tear layer has evaporated and the contact lens is stuck to the eye, SEEK IMMEDIATE ATTENTION. Never try removing a contact lens which is stuck to the eye. An Optometrist or Ophthalmologist is your best bet of removing the contact lens safely without damaging the cornea of your eye.

How do you get the contact lens to stop sticking to your finger and go in your eye easier?

Your contact lens will stick to the "least wet" thing it is in contact with. Try putting a couple of drops of solution on your finger so that the lens can easily move off your finger onto your eyeball. The easiest way that I find to put a lens in is to place it on the eyeball and then slowly move your eye (ie look away). Because of the shape of the lens, it moves with the eyeball and "off" your finger.
