With time and practice putting in your lenses will become second nature, and you’ll rarely spend much time examining them before you know if they are inside out or not.

In the event that you insert your lenses the wrong way round, you can be reassured that your eyes will not be damaged even if the sensation is uncomfortable. As soon as you sense that the lens is inside out, you should remove it with clean hands, clean the lens with an appropriate solution and reinsert it, having checked that it is the correct way round.

Remember, dirt that gets between the contact and lens and the cornea, the surface of your eye, will cause irritation and discomfort and could cause damage to the lens. For this reason you should always ensure that you observe strict hygiene and cleaning when preparing your lenses:

• When inserting a lens, try to avoid using your fingernails, especially if they are long or sharp. Soft permeable contact lenses are fragile and can be easily damaged, rendering them useless.

• Use an appropriate cleaning solution to ensure your lenses are free from dust and dirt.

• Always store your lenses in their container to ensure that they remain in optimum condition.
