Insertion And Removal Of Sacramento Contact Lenses

By Nancy Gardner


Contact lens should only be won following a prescription from your doctor. This also applies even if the purpose of wearing them is other than for visual correction. During eye examination, the optician will access your eyes health, myopia, hyperopia and astigmatism. Your visual acuity has to get assessed too before Sacramento contact lenses are prescribed.

In their insertion, the hands must be washed and dried thoroughly beforehand. The principal hand pointer finger is used to grasp the lens at the tip. The middle finger is utilized in pulling down the posterior eyelid.

The pointer finger is also used to elevate the lid at the top besides holding lenses. You should look up at this point and place the lens in a gentle manner on the lower side of the sclera. The pointer finger is then removed and the lid released. After doing this, the eye should be closed for a moment to give a chance for the lens to be centered.

In removal, hand washing precedes. They should be dried well before the process is begun. You should first look up and then pull down the posterior eyelid using the middle finger of the principal hand. The pointer finger is utilized to grasp the lens and after squeezing lens between it and the thumb, removal of the contact lens is done carefully. The eye is a very sensitive organ and the lens is a very delicate device. So, a lot of caution should be taken during the process.

The disposable ones are thrown away after a single use. Using them eliminates the need for constant cleaning and storage. However, these processes are not as hard as they are made to sound. As long as you follow the instructions given by the optician, everything will just go smoothly. There are specially made solutions for rinsing, disinfecting, protein removal and conditioning the lenses.

For comfortable and healthy contact lens wear, they have to get cared for on a daily basis. The procedure involves placing commercial cleaner drops on each on the lenses sides and rubbing gently for about twenty seconds. This is followed by thorough rinsing for about five minutes with a rinsing solution prepared commercially

In storage, they are soaked for at least four hours in the cleanser solution. The solution is never to be reused. It should be discarded immediately after use. After doing all this, you can go ahead and put on lens again. If you notice any remaining debris, just rinse them before inserting them into the eyes.

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.
