Occasionally, a lens may adhere to the inside surface of the foil when opened, or to the plastic package
itself. This will not affect the sterility of the lens. It is still perfectly safe to use. Carefully remove and
inspect the lens following the handling instructions.
3. Handling the Lenses
• Develop the habit of always working with the same lens first to avoid mix-ups.
• Remove the lens from its storage case and examine it to be sure that it is moist, clean, clear and free
of any nicks or tears. If the lens appears damaged, do not use it. Use the next lens in the multipack.
• Verify that the lens is not turned inside out by placing it on your forefinger and checking its profile.
The lens should assume a natural, curved, bowl-like shape. If the lens edges tend to point outward,
the lens is inside out. Another method is to gently squeeze the lens between the thumb and forefin-
ger. The edges should turn inward. If the lens is inside out, the edges will turn slightly outward.
OR
• For the ACUVUE ® ADVANCE™ Brand Contact Lens with HYDRACLEAR™, place the lens on your fore-
finger and, looking up at the lens, locate the numbers 1-2-3. 1-2-3 indicates correct orientation while
a reverse of 1-2-3 indicates the lens is inside out. If the lens is inside out (reverse 1-2-3), invert the
lens and locate the numbers again to confirm correct lens orientation.
4. Placing the Lens on the Eye
Remember, start with your right eye.
Once you have opened the lens package, removed and examined the lens, follow these steps to apply the
lens to your eye:
1. Place the lens on the tip of your forefinger. BE SURE THE LENS IS CORRECTLY ORIENTED
(see “Handling the Lenses”).
2. Place the middle finger of the same hand close to your lower eyelashes and pull down the lower lid.
3. Use the forefinger or middle finger of the other hand to lift the upper lid.
4. Place the lens on the eye.
5. Gently release the lid and blink. The lens will center automatically.
6. Use the same technique when placing the lens for your left eye.
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 the lens, your vision is blurred, check for the following:
