Contact Lens 101:
Key Tips for Wearing and Maintaining Them
Contact lenses are a popular and practical alternative to traditional eyeglasses. They are thin, curved lenses that sit directly on the surface of your eyes to correct vision issues such as nearsightedness, farsightedness, astigmatism, or presbyopia. Over the years, advancements in contact lens technology have made them more comfortable, accessible, and versatile for people of all ages.
One of the main advantages of contact lenses is their ability to provide clear, natural vision without the need for bulky frames. They are particularly beneficial for those with active lifestyles or who want a frameless look for aesthetic reasons. However, using contact lenses requires proper care and attention to maintain eye health and avoid complications.

2. Ensure lenses are clean, undamaged, and free from debris.
Steps to Wear Contact Lenses
1. Place the lens on your fingertip and check that it’s not inside out (the edges should curve upwards).
2. Hold your upper and lower eyelids open with your other hand. Look straight into a mirror and gently place the lens on your eye. Blink slowly to adjust the lens.
