If
the
lens
folds
and
sticks
together:
Place
the
lens
in
the
palm
of
your
hand
and
wet
thoroughly
with
a
recommended
rinsing
or
storing
solution.
Then
GENTLY
rub
the
lens
between
your
index
finger
and
palm
in
a
gentle
back
and
forth
motion.
If
this
gentle
rubbing
does
not
work,
dispose
of
the
lens
and
replace
it
with
a
replacement

PLACING
YOUR
LENSES
ON
YOUR
EYE
1. To
avoid
the
possibility
of
lens
mix
‐
ups,
always
start
with
the
same
lens.
2. Before
inserting
the
lens,
rinse
well
with
fresh
recommended
rinsing
solution.
Then
place
it
on
the
tip
of
the
index
finger
of
your
dominant
hand.
3. While
positioned
on
your
index
finger,
check
to
ensure
the
lens
has
not
turned
inside
out.
To
check
this,
look
at
the
profile
of
the
lens
against
a
light
background.
If
the
edge
profile
appears
convex
and
bowl
‐
shaped,
then
it
is
correct.
If
the
lens
is
inverted,
it
will
flare
out
at
the
edge.
If
the
lens
is
inverted,
simply
reverse
it
by
using
light
fingertip
pressure.
Be
sure
to
avoid
damaging
the
lens
with
your
fingernails.
4. Look
straight
ahead
and
raise
the
upper
lid
with
your
other
index
finger
5. While
looking
down,
and
keeping
both
eyes
open,
place
the
lens
on
the
upper
white
part
of
the
eye
6. Slowly
release
the
upper
lid
and
gently
close
your
eye
7. The
lens
should
center
automatically,
or
it
can
be
moved
on
center
by
gentle
fingertip
pressure
through
the
lids.
8. Repeat
the
above
procedure
for
the
second
lens.
9. If
a
lens
appears
to
be
stuck
on
your
eye,
apply
one
or
two
drops
of
a
recommended
lubricating
solution
to
the
eye
and
blink
a
few
times.
If
the
lens
does
not
move
freely
on
your
eye,
contact
your
eye
care
practitioner
for
further
instructions.
There
is
no
single
“right
way”
of
putting
on
lenses.
If
you
find
this
method
of
lens
placement
difficult,
your
eye
care
practitioner
will
suggest
another
method
or
provide
additional
instruction.

on
the
cornea
before
