Insertion And Removal Of Sacramento Contact Lenses

By Nancy Gardner


Contact lenses require the wearer to obtain a prescription outlining the type to purchase even if they are not meant for correction of vision. During physical examination of the eyes, the optician checks for astigmatism, hyper myopia, myopia and general eye health. Your visual strength will also be tested before prescription of Sacramento contact lenses.

In the process of their insertion, the first step should always be washing of hands. They should be adequately dried after that. Then, with your dominant hand, hold the tip of the lens with your index finger and bring down the lower eyelid.

The pointer finger of the less dominant hand is used in elevating the anterior eyelid. The lens is then slid gently onto the sclera while you are looking up. The fingers are then removed and the eyelids let go. Centering of lens is facilitated by closing the eyes for a moment. The same procedure is used when inserting the second lens.

When taking them out, again you start with hand washing and drying them thereafter. While gazing upwards, the lower lid is pulled downwards using the dominant hand middle finger. The pointer finger is then used to slide out the lenses by squeezing it between the finger and the thumb. Given the delicate nature of the lens and the sensitivity of the eye, this should be carried out with a lot of caution.

The disposable ones are meant for a single use. This saves you the hassle of cleaning and storage of other types of contact lens. However, the processes are not that hard as long as the instructions provided by the professional are followed. There are solutions in the market designed for use in soaking, rinsing, cleaning, and conditioning, disinfecting and removing proteins from lens.

There are some steps to be followed in maintenance of healthy ad relaxed use of these lens. The initial step in this procedure is rubbing the lens for around 20 seconds after application of a cleanser on its sides. The rinsing process must be thorough taking up to 5 seconds using a special rinsing solution.

After the rinsing, they should be put inside a lens case and soaked using a cleansing solution for around 4 hours. The solution used for soaking should always be fresh and discarded immediately after use. After this, you can confidently put on lenses. If there is debris on the lenses surface, they can be done away with using a rinsing solution before being worn.

If you are not going to wear the lenses immediately after soaking, store then in a closed case designed for this purpose. They should not be stored in a saline solution. This is not a disinfectant. If they are not going to be worn for a considerable period of time, they can be stored in a closed case. If thirty days go by without them being used, the next time they are worn they have to be cleaned and also disinfected beforehand. Reusing a cleaning solution does not give effective results. The cases they are stored in should be replaced on a monthly basis.
