safest way to take out contact lenses
Hi,
What is the safest way to take out daily-disposable contact lenses?
Also, do daily-disposable contact lenses significantly deteriorate your vision quality more than glasses (ie will you need stronger prescription sooner by wearing contacts compared to if you wore glasses?
Cheers

)Then with your middle figer below ur eyelid pull down,also make the eye bigger with your other hand pulling up from ur brow,then use your index finger to slide the lense down and use the thumb and index finger to scoop it out.Reply 2
Contacts shouldn't alter your eyes any more than glasses.
To remove contact lenses, wash your hands, and then you simply pinch the lens out of each eye. If they're daily disposables, I just wrap mine in a tissue and bin them.
You should always wash your hands before you put your lenses in or take them out (although I have to say I personally don't always do that, but then I can be a bit of a grubby so-and-so at times).
The only problem I have with daily contacts is that they're not weighted to the shape of my eye (I have a stygmatism in each eye) and it can take me half the day to get used to looking through the lenses, as it alters how I perceive distances. Consequently I don't wear them very often!!

i was taught the first way about sliding ur contact down and i found that eithier i took forever, ended poking my eye out or ripping the contact.
then my friend taught me to just out one hand under my eye and one hand on top and squeeze ur eyelid together under ur contact and it should kind of just pop out. its the quickest and easiest way to do it and i dont have such painful eyes anymore

You don't really have to wash your hands when removing daily disposables.
Removing the left lense:
Turn your head to the left whilst looking into the mirror. Using the fingers on your left hand, prise your upper eyelashes upwards and with the last three fingers on the right hand, slightly lower your bottom eyelid. Make sure you can see the lense clearly on your eye, and then use the index finger on your right hand to gently push the lense to the left and off the iris. It should crinkle up when it reaches the corner of your eye and when it does, use your right index finger and thumb to pinch it off.

Wash your hands first then
pinch them from your eyes, or alternatively, look upwards, slide the lenses down the white part, then pinch them out. they're much better.

will there ever be a time when your eyesight stop deteriorating?!
That sliding thing doesn't work at all on me. They told me to do that the first time I tried contacts - it wouldn't work and I had to go to hospital.
To get them out, put your thumb and index finger on the centre of your eye and squeeze them together. Got to break the suction.
Maybe the slide method works on long-sighted people and the squeeze on short-sighted people. We have different shaped eyes to each other.

You don't have to wash your hands when removing the disposables. They are, simply put, disposable. Just try not to touch your eye when removing them.
The squeeze technique (sounds a little phallic) does make me wince a bit. I never have my fingers pointing directly at my eye in case they slip. But I suppose different methods work for different people.
