Insertion And Removal Of Sacramento Contact Lenses

By Nancy Gardner


Contact lenses require the wearer to obtain a prescription outlining the type to purchase even if they are not meant for correction of vision. During physical examination of the eyes, the optician checks for astigmatism, hyper myopia, myopia and general eye health. Your visual strength will also be tested before prescription of Sacramento contact lenses.

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 of the less dominant hand is used in elevating the anterior eyelid. The lens is then slid gently onto the sclera while you are looking up. The fingers are then removed and the eyelids let go. Centering of lens is facilitated by closing the eyes for a moment. The same procedure is used when inserting the second lens.

When taking them out, again you start with hand washing and drying them thereafter. While gazing upwards, the lower lid is pulled downwards using the dominant hand middle finger. The pointer finger is then used to slide out the lenses by squeezing it between the finger and the thumb. Given the delicate nature of the lens and the sensitivity of the eye, this should be carried out with a lot of caution.

The disposable ones are meant for a single use. This saves you the hassle of cleaning and storage of other types of contact lens. However, the processes are not that hard as long as the instructions provided by the professional are followed. There are solutions in the market designed for use in soaking, rinsing, cleaning, and conditioning, disinfecting and removing proteins from lens.

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

After the rinsing, they should be put inside a lens case and soaked using a cleansing solution for around 4 hours. The solution used for soaking should always be fresh and discarded immediately after use. After this, you can confidently put on lenses. If there is debris on the lenses surface, they can be done away with using a rinsing solution before being worn.

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.
