If you wear contact lenses, you might find it more challenging at first learning how to put the contacts in your eyes. However, it is just as important to learn the steps necessary to remove the lenses safely. The truth is you can harm your eyes if you are not careful about how you take them out. You also run the risk of losing one of your contacts by not removing the lens properly from each eye.

Contact lenses have come a long way since their creation by F.A. Muller in 1887. Working from an idea and sketch conceived by DaVinci in 1508, the German glassblower used Sir John Herschel’s theory of creating a mold of an individual’s eye to form a glass lens that would improve vision; the first lenses could be worn for up to three hours. Now available for a wide range of sight conditions, contact lenses come in colors, types and materials to fit most lifestyles. The most frequent problem encountered by new contact lens wearers is how to insert the contact lenses in your eyes.
