EYESPACE BESPOKE INSERTION TIPS
EYESPACELENSES.COM
Place 1-2 drops of a
Lubricating Eye Drop
in the back of the lens. Place the lens on your index
finger and insert directly onto the centre (coloured part) of your eye in a face-down position. To
save confusion, it’s a good idea to always insert the right lens first.
STEP 2:
If you happen to drop your lens, use
Saline Solution
to rinse. Place the lens in the palm of
your hand and thoroughly rinse for 5 seconds.
STEP 3:
Dry and wipe out your lens case with a tissue. Leave the case lid off to air dry while wearing
your lenses.
STEP 4:
Remove lenses from the
Cleaning Solution Case
and rinse with saline. If using hydrogen peroxide
solution a minimum soaking time of 6 hours is required for the acid to neutralise to saline.
STEP 1:
Insertion:
Abnormal
occurrences (contact your optometrist immediately) include:
•
Redness, discharge, pain, light sensitivity, burning, stinging, and excessive watering of the eyes
which do not resolve after lenses are removed.
• Feeling like the lens is stuck to the eye and having difficulty removing.
Normal
occurrences on insertion:
Occasionally a lens may become dislodged within your eye. This may be uncomfortable however it
won’t do any harm.
•
Look in a mirror to establish where the lens has moved to.
•
Move your eyes in a direction away from where the lens is located. For example, if the lens in your right
eye is on the white of your eye nearest to your nose, move your eyes to the right. Gently nudge the lens
with your eyelids. Avoid directly pushing the lens into place as this can damage the surface of your eye.
THINGS TO REMEMBER!
Normal
occurrences include:
•
Foreign body sensation and slight discomfort whilst wearing lenses.
•
Mild burning, stinging and watering which resolves once the lens is removed, rinsed with saline and re-inserted.
DURING THE FIRST 2 WEEKS:
Abnormal
occurrences on insertion:
If on insertion you experience stinging, burning or pain, remove the lens, rinse and re-insert. If problems
persist, remove the lens and see your optometrist at your earliest convenience.
