PLACING THE LENS ON THE EYE 

To avoid confusion, make it a habit of inserting the same lens first. Check your lens is clean 
and moist. Check your lens is not inside out. And then follow these steps to apply your lens to 
your eye:   
• Balance your lens on the tip of your forefinger.   
• Pull the lower lid down with your middle finger of the same hand.   
• Hold the upper lid firmly from above with your middle finger of the other hand. Make sure 
your finger is placed just where your eyelid meets your eyelashes.   
• Your eye is now wide open and the cornea exposed.   
• Place your lens directly on your eye. Move your eyes around to help center your lens.   
• Release the lower and then the upper lid. Look down and gently close the eyes. Rub the top 
lid lightly to rub out any trapped air bubbles. 
• If your lens is not properly centered on the cornea, gently manipulate by using your fingertips 
and eyelids. 
 
There are other methods of lens placement. If the above method is difficult for you, your Eye 
Care Professional will provide you with an alternate method. 
 

NOTE:

 If after placement of your lens, your vision is blurred, check for the following: 

• Your lens is not centered on your eye (see “Centering the Lens”, next in this booklet). 
• If your lens is centered, remove your lens (see “Removing the Lens” section) and check for 
the following: 

a. Cosmetics or oils on your lens. Dispose of your lens and apply a new fresh lens. 
b. Your lens is on the wrong eye. 
c. Your lens is inside-out (it may also not be as comfortable as normal). 

 
If you find that your vision is still blurred after checking the above possibilities, remove your 
lenses and consult your Eye Care Professional. 

CENTERING THE LENS 

Very rarely, a lens that is on the cornea will be displaced onto the white part of your eye during 
lens  wear. This  can  also  occur  during placement  and removal of  your  lenses if the correct 
techniques are not performed properly. To center your  lens  follow  one of  the procedures 
below: 
• Close your eyelids and gently massage your lens into place through the closed lids. 

OR 

• Gently manipulate the off-centered lens onto the cornea while your eye is opened using your
