What's the easiest way to take out soft contacts?

Question

I am trying to get my new soft contacts from the eye doctor. The thing is, they make me come in for sessions to learn how to use them until I get it right. So, I could get them in with no problem, but I couldn't get them out. So they didn't let me have them. I have to know the easiest way to take them out so I can finally be blessed with my new contacts because these glasses are hell to me.

Answer 1

Make sure the lenses are wet enough... and slide them to the outside of your eye... them squeeze you index finger and thumb together and they come right out....

How To Take Out Contacts

Answer 4

First your eyes must be moist, so put in some eye drops a few minutes before removal. Otherwise the dryness makes the lens such up against the eye, not painful, just harder to remove.

I found using middle finger to pull down lower lid, then using thumb and forefinger, just pinch the sides of the contact and they come right off. Doc always said to first pull it down for removal but I never found the need.

I found them much more comfortable than hard lens which I always "felt" especially at removal.

yes, softs are larger, but far more comfortable.

Answer 5

Touch the tip of your clean finger to the contact then look toward your nose as you slide the contact the other way. Once it's off your pupil area, pinch the contact lightly and pull.

Answer 6

okay follow my steps..
1. take your left hand and use your thumb and pointer finger to hold open your eye
2. with your right hand use your thumb and pointer finger again but dont use the tips of your fingers, use a little below the tips.
3. using bellow the tips pinch the contact and slowly take out.
4. if u need to, look up the whole time your doing this.
5. try again if it didnt work! :]

Answer 8

i used to push them into the corner of my eye then pinch them out. personally, i think they are not worth the hassle. all the cleaning, and making sure you dont fall asleep in them, and the danger of putting them in the wrong way round.... i gave up in the end and got sexy glasses. glasses can be sexy, if you get the right style.

I have seen many ways that proffesionals and consumers alike have come up with for the removal of soft contacts. From personal experience, I have found that using needle nose pliers works well. Also, if you stick a little piece of gum on the tip of a razor or a sixteen penny nail and touch the gum to the contact (try to avoid contact of the razor or nail tip), normally that will remove them. Another way is to train a pet wolverine to do this task for you. Wolverines seem to operate best after a strict diet of raw steak, doused in gun powder and a severe beating regimine with a broom handle equipped with nails. Another option, and probably the most efficient for those with a steady hand, is to go down to your local hardware store and pick up a pneumatic, 90 degree die grinder. For this you will need to pick up a wire wheel attachment rated for 5-10 thousand rpms. Activate the air tool and slowly, carefully bring it towards your eye in a manner that eventually, it comes in contact with the lens and shoots it out, but you must remember to stop any movement towards your eyeball after this happens because after this occurs, the wire wheel should be fairly close to the outter membrane of your eyeball.
