How to determine the right side of the lens?

Poor eyesight is not a fatal disease, but it gives a person a lot of trouble.

Wearing glasses for many is really a problem. But depriving yourself of the opportunity to see the picture clearly, is also not an option.

Contact lenses - that's what really helps you not only to see everything clearly and brightly, but also will give you confidence.

Such optical devices have their niceties in operation. There are certain rules for their use.

If you have not yet learned how to wear lenses, then you should make sure that you have not confused the side and do not try to dress it backwards.

What you should know

When you first get into the hands of

life contact lenses get, then put them on, not such an easy task. Those who are new can spend more than two hours on this procedure. In this case, immediately the question arises, how to properly wear the lens, so as not to feel discomfort.

By purchasing this optical device you will find instructions for use in it. In any case, the theory and practice of things are different, and to carry out such a process without pain is difficult.

At first, it is necessary to consider the reasons why contact lenses can cause discomfort to people:

• lack of hygiene( its elementary rules);
• can often be a discomfort as a result of the fact that a person did not pay attention to whether a trace of soap, which had previously been washed by hands, remained;
• problem may occur after you wiped your hands with a towel. It is best to wipe them with a paper towel, or a napkin. This is necessary in order not to put rubbish in the eye, putting on the lenses;
• if the hairs fall into the eye;
• is also an inconvenience and can cause a long manicure in girls.

When a patient decides to wear lenses instead of glasses, he is confronted with the fact that he is simply simply afraid to touch the conjunctiva( thin tissue, transparent, which covers the eye itself).It is important to overcome this fear. It should be understood that the mucosa is strong enough, so wearing a lens does not do any harm to a person.

The rest of the action will depend on what kind of lens solution is in the container. If, for example, the solution is universal, then it is suitable for washing and storing contact lenses. After making sure of this, take the lens, put it on the palm and treat it with liquid. When you are sure that the optical device is being washed, it's time to go to the most basic - the installation procedure.

How to find out whether the lens is inside out or not

Before proceeding to the examination of techniques for installing lenses, it is worthwhile to determine whether the lens is turned out or not. If a person incorrectly installs the lens, this can cause not only discomfort, but also a number of other, many dangerous violations. To be calm and confident that the lens has the correct position, you can do the following manipulations.

Place the contact lens

on the index finger. Only the rounded side should touch the finger. If the shape of the optical device has the shape of a dome, then it lies correctly. If you see a cup in front of you, or a bowl, it means that the lens is turned inside out.

You need to raise the lens to eye level. It is important to look at it at the right angle. The correct position of the lens is similar to the letter U, if it lies not true, then it will remind you the letter V( if the edges of the lens expand to the top).

How to dress a lens, even if you have decided on the right side, still moisten it with the drops intended for it:

The second method

If in the first variant the lens check was purely visual, then in this way you will have to "feel" it. Take your device and place it between your index and thumb. Take care that its internal parts do not touch each other.

That is, there should be a free space between them. Now carefully fold the lens. Do it carefully. The essence of manipulation is not in checking it for integrity. You should look at the resulting result to determine whether you took it right.

If its edges( after bending) look upwards, this means that you are doing everything right, if the edges are rounded, then the lens is inside out. It should be understood that the correct position of the lens allows the edges to touch each other, which can not be said about the lens inside out.

Exterior Inspection

To do this, take the lens and find on it laser engraving( numbers).With the correct position, this set of numbers should not be placed upside down. Simply place the lens with the rounded side on the finger and start the inspection.

If none of the methods are suitable for you, then put on the lens so. If it was originally taken is not correct, then you will feel pain, discomfort and itching.

It is important not to confuse the discomfort in the wrong position with what may occur if not properly used and maintained.

Methods for installing contact lenses

There are several methods for installing contact lenses, each one can choose the one that is most convenient for him. But before you come to this conclusion, you need to try both, or at least understand how they are implemented, at least on theory.

Method number 1

The first thing to do is to rinse the lens. Next, put it on the index finger. It is important to put it correctly. Exclusively concave side up. Then we bring both hands to face. A hand that does not have a lens, should pull the eyelid. Do not be afraid to do this.

At the same time, everything, the view should be directed only upwards. The very same contact lens is placed on the conjunctiva. Close your eyes. Best of all, a couple of times to blink. It is necessary to understand that if the lens is moistened, it will without any difficulty become at the right place and at the same time, you will not feel any discomfort.

Method number 2

In fact, this method is far from gone from the first. We take the lens, pretreated with the necessary solution, put it on the middle finger, with the concave side. In this version, one hand takes part. An unnamed finger should pull back the eyelid.

If you are not comfortable, then use the second hand, holding the upper eyelid with your index finger. Gently place the lens on the conjunctiva, blink a couple of times. It does not matter what finger to put on the lens, it is important to focus on your own feelings. It is important not to mix the wrong side and the lens right with the left.

After the work day is completed, you need to remove the lens, since sleeping in them is strictly prohibited. It is important to remember that the removal process( and how the installation process) should be carried out only after you have washed your hands. Not just wiped with a napkin, but washed under running water.

After washing hands, wipe them with a towel only, or with a dry towel. Prepare a container for the lens to immediately send them there:

1. With your middle finger, move the lower eyelid.
2. With your index finger, slowly and gently touch the eye( conjunctiva), aiming at its lower edge. Do not make sudden movements, especially if you are a beginner.
3. When you hit the lens, start moving it down to the eyelid. When it is lowered below the pupil, it can be removed. To do this, press it with your thumb and forefinger. Those who already have experience in this field can remove the lens and do not push it away. But this is clearly not for those who have just started wearing them.

If you are in the process of installing and removing lenses is difficult, or you are just afraid, you can buy special suckers. But in any case, it's better to practice and start shooting them yourself.
