If you have problems with allergies or eye infections, extended wear contacts may exacerbate the problem. One-day contact lenses solve these problems by offering the option to use a fresh contact lens every day, without having to worry about storing, soaking and disinfecting after each use. Wearing one-day contact lenses is the same as wearing ordinary lenses, except that you just throw them away afterward.
Step 1
Clean your hands with an oil-free soap and warm water, then pat your hands dry with a lint-free towel.
Step 2
Give your lens bag a few shakes.
Step 3
Lay the package on a clean table or countertop, and peel back the foil to open.
Step 4
Remove a contact lens from the package using your clean fingertips, and take a good look at the one-day lens to ensure that it is not inside out and is free of rips, tears or deformities.
Step 5
Place the lens on the tip of your pointer finger.
Step 6
Pull down the lower eyelid of one eye using your middle finger — the finger next to the pointer that is holding the lens. At the same time, with the fingers of your other hand, raise your upper eyelid.
Step 7
Place your contact lens over the cornea (front) of your eye.
Step 8
Release your eyelid slowly, and blink several times to center your contact lens.
Step 9
Repeat Steps 1 to 8 to place a one-day contact in your other eye.
