Placing the Lens on the Eye:
•
Check to be sure the lens is not inside out. Look at the profile of the lens edge against a light
background. If the edge profile appears convex and bowl shaped, the lens is correct side out. If the
lens edges tend to point outward, the lens is inside out, simply turn it right-side out by using light
fingertip pressure.
•
The lens should be positioned on the tip of the index finger of your dominant hand. With the middle
finger of the same hand, pull the lower eyelid down. Use the middle finger of the other hand to
gently raise the upper eye lid by lifting the lid above the eyelashes.
•
With the lens still on the tip of the index finger, hold the head straight and look up as far as
possible. Gently place the lens onto the lower white part of your eye.
•
Look down and slowly release the upper and lower lids. Close the eye, then open them slowly.
The lens should center automatically.
•
Repeat the above procedure for the other lens.
There are other methods of lens placement. If the method described in this manual is difficult for you, your
eye care practitioner will provide you with an alternate method.
Note: If after placement of the lens, your vision is blurred, check for the following:
•
The lens is not centered on the eye (see Centering the Lens section).
•
If the lens is centered, remove the lens and check the following:
•
Cosmetics or oils on the lens. Clean, rinse, disinfect and place the lens on the eye again.
•
The lens is on the wrong eye.
•
The lens is inside out.

Centering the Lens
It is infrequent that a lens which is on the cornea will be displaced onto the white part of the eye during
wear. However, this can easily occur of the insertion and removal procedures are not performed properly.
To center the lens, follow one of the procedures below:
•
Close your eyelids and gently massage the lens into place through the closed lids, using your
index finger.
•
Gently push the off-centered lens onto the cornea while the eye is open, using finger pressure on
the edge of the upper or lower eyelid.
