Insertion and removal instructions
Before handling lenses, always wash and dry hands thoroughly avoiding perfumed or
medicated soaps. Pour the lens into the palm of your hand. Make sure the lens is the
right way out.
Inspect your lens before inserting and do not insert if scratched or damaged.
To remove your lens, make sure your hands are clean and dry, use your finger to slide the
lens down to the white part of the eye and remove it. Use a rewetting drop if the lens is
difficult to remove.
