contact lenses

Congratulations, you have contact lenses for the first time! Now what?

It’s time to learn how to put them in and take them out—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 to insert and remove contact lenses, 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?
