Make sure you wash your hands thoroughly before applying your contact lenses, but avoid scented or oily soaps that might adhere to the lens surface. Especially avoid using products containing lanolin and moisturizing lotions.

Some eye doctors say to always apply the first contact lens in the same eye, so you'll avoid the possibility of mixing up lenses for the right eye and left eye.

Other basic guidelines for contact lens application include:

Gently shake your lens case containing the storage solution, to loosen the contact lens should it be stuck. (Don't try pulling at the lens with your finger, or you might damage it.)
Slide the lens out of its case and into the palm of your hand. Rinse thoroughly with the appropriate contact lens solution.
Place the contact lens on the tip of your index or middle finger, which should be dry or mostly dry.
With the fingers and thumb of your other hand, simultaneously pull up on your upper eyelid and down on your lower eyelid.
