Application of contact lenses
How to put in contacts in 4 easy steps
1. Before you start
Wash your hands with soap (preferably non-perfumed, anti-bacterial liquid soap),
then rinse and dry your hands with a lint-free towel. 
2. Check that the lens isn't inside out
To do this, just put the lens on
the tip of your finger and hold it up to the light. If the edges flare out, it's
inside out. Some lenses have a 1, 2, 3 indicator - make sure the digits aren’t
backwards. It should look like a bowl with straight edges. 
3. Using your right hand
Gently hold your upper eyelid with one finger so
you don’t blink or get your eyelashes in the way, and carefully pull down your
lower eyelid with your other fingers. 
4. Move the contact lens
Toward your eye steadily. Look upward as
you place it on your eye, and slowly release your eyelid and close your eye for
a moment to allow the lens to settle. Repeat for your other eye.
