Video Guide: How to Remove Soft Contact Lenses
To remove your contact lenses, you will first want to make sure that, just like at insertion, your hands are clean, and lint free. You will then want to pull down your lower lid, and use a finger from your other hand to move the contact lens off of the central, colored part of your eye. This will help to create pockets under the lens, and decrease the level of adherence to the eye. After you have moved the contact, you will use your thumb and forefinger from the hand not holding the lid down to softly pinch the lens off of the eye. After removing your contact lenses, make sure to follow proper care and cleaning instructions.
This video, courtesy of Videojug, will show you how to remove soft contact lenses easily.
