A contact lens remover is a must have for everyone who uses hard and gas permeable contact lenses. These lenses are occasionally hard to remove with the typical “popping out†method. Hard contact lenses tends to stick to the eye firmly by suction to the cornea. This is where the contact lens remover comes in. A contact lens remover is often recommended by optometrists or ophthalmologist a contact lens remover especially if someone frequently loses their contact lenses.
Knowing how to properly use a contact lens remover will help a lot in taking hard contact lens off your eyes. You have to make sure that you are wearing a contact lens before trying to remove them. Most people who make assumptions that they are still wearing a contact lens even if they’re not, often hurt their eyes by poking it with a contact lens remover. Look at a mirror first and check if you have contact lenses on.
Once you are sure that you are wearing a contact lens, apply a few drops of rewetting solution to both eyes for lubrication. Dampen the contact lens remover’s suction cup with a drop of rewetting solution.
The next step is quite tricky but once you get used to it everything will be easy. Place the contact lens remover directly and squarely on the front of the contact lens. The lens will attach to the plunger at this point. Gently pull the plunger away from the eye. The lens will come out quickly, follow the same method to remove the other contact lens.
Keep in mind that you should avoid placing the contact lens remover on the surface of the eye because it could cause corneal abrasion or other eye injuries. Another thing, contact lens remover is not applicable to soft lenses. If you still fail removing the lenses from your eyes, add drops to the eyes to lubricate them and consult an eye doctor to have them removed.
