Everyone who wears glasses dreams of removing them, but at the same time seeing the world around him clearly and clearly. Modern ophthalmology offers various methods of correcting vision. These include laser surgery to correct vision, wearing glasses, all kinds of techniques to strengthen the eye muscles and the use of contact lenses. The easiest way to get rid of glasses is using soft contact lenses.
At the initial stage for the beginner the question arises: how to dress the lenses. After all, they are made of a flexible and thin material. First of all, before you take the lens, you need to clean your hands of dust and dirt with a detergent. This procedure helps to avoid infection and foreign bodies( villi, fluff, fungi, microorganisms) in the eye. A hard towel or microfiber cloth is suitable for wiping hands. These materials do not contain pile, therefore, before putting on the lenses, the fingers will be cleaned of foreign particles. Otherwise, feelings of discomfort and rezi in the eyes can not be avoided.
As a rule, an ophthalmologist appoints wearing different diopters. In this case, it is worthwhile to master the main rule - to put on and remove the lens must be strictly from the left( or right) eye. This action will avoid confusion. If the doctor has appointed lenses of the same corrective force, then the procedure for inserting the lens into the eye and removing it does not matter.
There are two methods of inserting soft contact lenses. To begin with, the lens should be removed from the package( container) and checked for consistency and correct position. The inverted lens is like a plate with edges pointed in different directions. With the correct position, the lens should be in the shape of a bowl with edges pointing upwards.
