2) Dry hands with a lint-free towel.
3) Check that the lens is centered on the cornea before attempting to remove the lens. Check your vision by covering
one eye. If vision is blurry, the lens is off-center. Re-center the lens before attempting to remove it.
Removal:
1) To avoid the possibility of lens mix-ups, always begin with the same lens.
2) Look up and keep both eyes open.
3) Using the middle finger of your dominant hand, gently pull down the lower lid of the first eye. Using the tip of
your index finger of the same hand, touch the lens and slide it onto the white of the eye.
4) Gently "pinch" the lens between the index finger and the thumb and remove.
5) Repeat the procedure for the second eye.
6)
If the lens cannot be easily moved, apply a few drops of lubricating or rewetting solution to the eye, blink a few
times, and when the lens moves freely on the eye, remove in the manner described above. If the lens still cannot
be moved, contact your eyecare practitioner for further instruction.
7) Upon removal, clean each lens with a contact lens cleaner per the procedures described under the heading, CARING
FOR YOUR LENS. Rinse well with rinsing solution and place in the lens storage case filled with fresh storage
solution.
IMPORTANT: Always avoid touching your lens with your fingernails. Use only your fingertips.
If you find this method difficult, your eyecare practitioner will suggest another method or provide additional instruction.
If the lens is chipped or torn, do not put the lens back on your eye. Return the lens to the storage case with fresh solution and
contact your eyecare practitioner.
CARING FOR YOUR LENS
Basic Instructions:
For continued safe and comfortable wearing of your lens, it is important that you first clean and rinse, then disinfect
your lens after each removal, using the care regimen recommended by your eyecare practitioner. Cleaning and rinsing
are necessary to remove mucus, secretions, films, or deposits, which may have accumulated after removing them.
Disinfecting is necessary to destroy harmful germs.
You should adhere to a recommended care regimen. Failure to follow the regimen may result in development of serious
ocular complications as discussed in the warning section above.
If you require only vision correction, but will not or cannot adhere to a recommended care regimen for your lens, or are
unable to place and remove your lens or have someone available to place and remove them, you should not attempt to
get and wear contact lens.
When you first get your lens, be sure you have to put the lens on and remove them while you are in your eyecare
practitioner's office. At that time you will be provided with a recommended cleaning and disinfection regimen and
instructions and warnings for lens care, handling, cleaning, and disinfection. Your eyecare practitioner should instruct
you about appropriate and adequate procedures and products for your use, and provide you with a copy of the Wearer's
Guide for the

For safe contact lens wear, you should know and always practice your lens care routine:
* Always wash, rinse, and dry hands before handling contact lens.
* Always use fresh, sterile unexpired lens care solutions.
* Use recommended system of lens care and carefully follow instructions on solution labeling.
* Different solutions cannot always be used together, and not all solutions are safe for use with all lenses. DO NOT
ALTERNATE OR MIX LENS CARE SYSTEMS UNLESS INDICATED ON SOLUTION LABELING.
* Do not use saliva or anything other than the recommended solutions for lubricating or rewetting lens. Do not put
lens in your mouth.
* Never rinse your lens in water from the tap. There are two reasons for this:
a. Tap water contains many impurities that can contaminate or damage your lens and may lead to eye infection
or injury.
b.
You might lose the lens down the drain.
* Your eyecare practitioner should recommend a care system that is appropriate for your
