‘‘I can’t get my lens out!’’

These tips might help you:

1. USE A DROP OF SOLUTION
Try putting a wetting drop in your eye and then nudge the lens with the edge of your eye lid before you take the lenses out.

2. IT IS ALWAYS THE LIDS!
Your eyelids might be stopping you getting them out:

If you use a SUCKER to remove your lens:

• Make sure your lids are open wide. If they are over the lens they will hold the lens in your eye.

• Wet the sucker with solution.

• Like inserting, COUNT TO 3 with the sucker on the lens.

James (15): I realised I wasn’t going to poke my eye out!
“I struggled loads until I slowed down and thought about what I was trying to do. The sucker needs to connect with the lens. Once it does that, it will pull it free. My fear was poking myself in the eye. But that’s not what happens. The sucker connects with the lens, not the eye, and you can’t feel it. Once my brain figured that, it all worked fine.

I give the sucker a small twist once it’s on the lens as this helps to break the seal and remove it. Once you do it a few times it’s really easy and quick.”
