Trusted eyewear advice from EZOnTheEyes to see well, look good, and buy smart

Congratulations, you have contact lenses for the first time! Now what? It’s time to learn how to remove contact lenses and how to insert them — safely.

Putting something in your eye for the first time is frightening. This guide shares tricks of the trade for easy handling and a comfortable first-time experience.

When learning how to remove contact lenses and insert them again, slow and steady wins the race. Before long, with a good routine and a bit of practice, it should become as easy as brushing your teeth.

If you once wore glasses but have switched to contact lenses, you know the freedom that comes with making the switch. You’re able to exercise and participate in a number of other activities without having to worry about not being able to see clearly or breaking your glasses. But could it be possible that wearing contact lenses hinders your safety or eyesight?

We’d like to say no, but research confirms that to be true. That is, when you misuse or do not wear your contacts exactly as directed, there are risks.
