Opaque colour tint
A solid colour that can change the hue of someone’s eye (iris) dramatically, from hazels to blue and so forth. Ideal for actors, being undercover, or Halloween parties.
How to fit contact lenses
Soft lenses are the easier and more comfortable option to insert, so go for these if you can. Application of Gas Permeable lenses is a whole other ball game – below is how to fit soft lenses.
1 Wash, rinse and dry hands thoroughly.
Note: it is very VERY important not to let water near your lenses. A wet finger could cause a soft lens to flatten. Avoid using fingernails when handling the lenses as this can scratch them. Keep nails short.
2 Learn and perfect a routine, then stick to it. Always insert and apply in the same order to prevent confusion, or skipping a vital part of ritual.
3 Pour the lens from container, with the storage fluid, into the palm.
4 Using mirror, examine the eyes for any debris, tears or excessive watering before insertion. Also check contact lens is intact, and not chipped or buckled. Do not insert if contact lens is damaged.
5 Is the lens the right side up? Sounds obvious, but this is like putting the shoe on the wrong foot, so it’s worth checking. While it isn’t dangerous if you do end up wearing it inside out it will be a bit uncomfortable and will be harder to get out. So, to check it’s the right side up, place the lens on your forefinger or your thumb, whichever is steadiest. The lens should have a bowl shape. If it’s inside out the edges will bow out, if it’s the right way up it will sit like a little hat on your fingertip. To turn it the right way round simply pop it back in the solution and fish it out the other way. Alternatively you can gently squeeze the lens between your thumb and forefinger. If it’s the right way up, the edges should turn inwards.
Once you’re a real pro you’ll be able to open the case and position your index finger on the lens to remove. Place the lens in your eye using the thumb of same hand holding lens to pull bottom lid down, whilst index finger of opposite hand is pulling upper lid up. Sounds too much? If you are wearing them every day it will become second nature.
6 The actual insertion. Until now it’s been all talk:
a) Hold the upper eyelid open to stop it blinking shut, which will be its involuntary action.
b) Use the thumb to pull the lower eyelid down.
c) Look upwards at the ceiling and with finger place the lens onto the white part of the eye. (With more practice you will eventually just put lens directly onto centre of eye.) It will wiggle the lens naturally in a wink of an eye, literally, into the right position.
d) Try NOT to panic, squirm or do any sudden movement – it will prolong the procedure. Be cool, calm and collected.
e) Remove the finger – well, obviously, that’s not going to stay there – and try not to blink. Allow the lens to fix into position by looking down. Allow the lens to swim round the eye to find the correct position.
7 Relax and close eyes for a moment, and when you open your eyes everything should be crystal clear.
8 If the eye feels dry use one or two drops of lubricant.
But don’t rejoice yet. What? It’s not over yet? NO. Unless of course you are a Cyclops, normal people tend to need to repeat the procedure for the other eye. Wearing one contact lens will leave you feeling very off balance.
How to remove contact lenses
Don’t panic. If you got it in your eye, it is only logical that you will be able to get it out.
Approach the situation calmly.
Always ensure hands are clean and dry, and have no scratchy unfiled nails.
Look up – or to the side – and position the contact lens on the white part of the eye, sliding it across using the forefinger.
Pinch contact lens gently between the thumb and the forefinger. (This is why long nails could be a liability.)
It should come out easily . . . but practice
