Wearing contact lenses for the first time can feel scary — but don’t worry! Thousands of girls across Pakistan wear coloured lenses every day and it becomes super easy with a little practice. This complete guide will help you wear your lenses confidently from day one.
What You Need Before Starting
Before putting in your lenses, make sure you have:
Lens Solution — to clean and store your lenses (comes free with every eyeshare order!)
Lens Case — to store lenses safely (also comes free!)
Clean Hands — most important step that most people skip
Mirror — preferably a table mirror so both hands are free
Step by Step — How to Put In Contact Lenses
Step 1 — Wash Your Hands
Wash hands thoroughly with soap and water. Dry completely with a clean lint-free towel. This is the most important step — dirty hands can cause eye infections.
Step 2 — Open the Lens Carefully
Open your lens packet carefully. Pour the lens gently onto your palm. Check that the lens is not inside out — it should look like a bowl, not a plate with edges flipped out.
Step 3 — Place Lens on Your Finger
Place the lens on the tip of your index finger. Make sure it is sitting properly and not folded.
Step 4 — Open Your Eye Wide
Use your other hand to hold your upper eyelid up. Use the middle finger of the hand holding the lens to pull your lower eyelid down. Look straight into the mirror.
Step 5 — Place the Lens
Slowly bring the lens towards your eye and place it directly on your eye. Look around slowly — the lens will settle into place. Blink a few times.
Step 6 — Repeat for Other Eye
Follow the same steps for your other eye.
How to Remove Contact Lenses
Step 1
Wash hands first — always!
Step 2
Look up and pull down your lower eyelid with your middle finger.
Step 3
Use your index finger and thumb to gently pinch the lens and slide it down. Remove it carefully.
Step 4
Place the lens in your lens case filled with fresh solution
Important Care Tips
Never sleep with lenses on — always remove before sleeping.
Maximum 8 hours per day — do not wear longer than this.
Never use water to clean lenses — always use proper lens solution.
Replace solution daily — do not reuse old solution in the case.
12 month lifespan — eyeshare lenses last up to 12 months with proper care.
Common Mistakes Beginners Make
Touching the eye directly — always use the lens as a barrier, not your finger.
Putting lens in inside out — always check the bowl shape before inserting.
Using expired solution — check the expiry date on your solution bottle.
Sharing lenses — never share contact lenses with anyone, ever!
