Many
people are not familiar with Halloween contact
lenses. Here, you will learn all about wearing
contact lenses: how to put them on, take
them off and how to care for them.
Putting
on Halloween Contact Lenses
It is important to know how to
use a product properly. So, the steps below
can help you to put on Halloween contact
lenses appropriately, safely and without
difficulty.
1.
Wash your hands and dry them with a lint-free
towel. Although this action might seem
like an obvious step, it is often forgotten
or omitted. Wet fingers can stick to the
lens, making manipulation a difficult
task.
2.
Do not work directly over an unplugged
sink as you can easily drop one of the
lenses down the drain. If a lens accidentally
ends up in the sink, simply disinfect
it before continuing.
3.
Put the lens and the storage fluid in
the palm of your hand. Examine the lens
to make sure there are no particles on
it or tears.
4.
Place the Halloween contact lens on your
dry index finger, cup side up, and bring
it to your eye, while pulling down your
lower eyelid with your middle finger.
5.
Apply the lens to your pupil, let go of
the lower lid, and blink a few times.
Removing
Halloween Contact Lenses
1.
Again, wash and dry your hands thoroughly
before handling the contact lenses.
2.
Have your cleansing solution and lens
case close at hand.
3.
Touch the lens with your index finger
and slide it to the corner of your eye
in order to gently fold it and remove
it.
4.
Once the lenses are removed, place them
in the palm of your hand so you can clean
them.
Cleaning
Halloween Contact Lenses
Every
time you wear your contact lenses, it is
imperative that you clean and disinfect
them to avoid any problems.
1.
Wash and dry your hands.
2.
Put the lens in the palm of your hand
and add several drops of contact lens
solution.
3.
Using your index finger, slightly rub
one side of the lens against the palm
of your hand, then turn it over and repeat
on the other side.
4.
Rinse the lens with more contact lens solution.
Storing
Halloween Contact Lenses
1.
Fill your case with contact lens disinfection
solution and place your lenses in the
case.
2.
Keep the lenses in the disinfection solution
for at least 6 hours to ensure an adequate
disinfection process.
Tips for First-Time Contact Lens
Users
-
If
you have never worn contact lenses before,
it is a good idea to wear them a few times
before the actual day of your Halloween
party in order to allow your eyes to adapt
to them. About a week before the party,
start wearing your Halloween contact lenses
for one hour, each day.
-
Remember,
the contact lenses should not be worn
for more than six to eight hours at a
time, and you should never sleep or take
a nap while wearing lenses.
