The first step regardless of anything else, is to wash your hands thoroughly before you do anything in regards to your new purple contact lenses.
If you are using soaps that contant any sort of moisturizer or extreme scents you might want to avoid using that specific soap as it might leave certain residue that can be dangerous to your eyes. One spefific ingrediant to avoid is something called “Lanolin” which should not make contact with your eyes for any reason.
It is usually good practice to get into the habit of putting in the same contact lens first, whether it be right or left, or try to make it whichever one comes naturally and remember to put that one in first.
The reason behind this is that it helps you avoid getting the purple contact lenses mixed up for right and left eyes.
The basic steps from getting the purple contact lens out of the case, to putting it in your eye include the following guidelines:
1. You can shake the case you are storing the purple contacts in to loosen them up. If the purple contact gets stuck, you do not want to try to use your fingers or any other object to remove it or unstick it because this is an easy and unfortuantely common way to cause damage to the lens.
2. Slide the lens out until it’s in the palm of your hand. Apply the appropriate cleaning solution to your purple contact lens.
3. Take the purple contact lens within the tip of your finger and with your other hand pull your upper eyelid upwards and your lower eyelid down. This will make enough of an opening to apply the purple contact lens into your eye.
4. Get the lens in position with your eye on a set direction, whether it be up or forward. Apply it then roll your eyes in circles to help the purple contacts settle in.
