🙋 How to Put In Colored Contacts: Step-by-Step Guide for Beginners

Colored contact lenses are an amazing way to enhance or completely transform your look. But for first-time users, the idea of inserting them might feel a bit intimidating. Don’t worry—this guide will walk you through everything you need to know on how to put in colored contacts safely and comfortably.

👁️ Step 1: Wash and Dry Your Hands

Before touching your lenses, wash your hands with mild soap and water, then dry with a lint-free towel. This helps prevent dirt, oil, or bacteria from getting into your eyes.

🧼 Step 2: Prepare Your Lens

Take one lens out of its case or vial. Place it on the tip of your index finger and check the shape:

• A correct lens looks like a bowl
• If the edges flare out like a saucer, it’s inside-out

👀 Step 3: Hold Your Eyelids

With your non-dominant hand, gently hold up your upper eyelid to prevent blinking. Use the middle finger of your dominant hand to pull down your lower eyelid.

👇 Step 4: Place the Lens on Your Eye

Slowly move the lens toward your eye. Look straight ahead or slightly upward, and gently place the lens directly on the cornea. You may blink naturally once it’s in place—this helps center it.

💧 Step 5: Blink and Check for Comfort

Once the lens is on, blink several times to let it settle. If the lens feels dry or uncomfortable, remove it, rinse it with solution, and try again. Never force a lens that feels wrong.

🌿 Tips for a Smooth Experience

• Always start with the same eye to avoid mixing up lenses
• Keep nails trimmed to avoid accidental scratches
• Never apply makeup before inserting your lenses
• Use fresh lens solution every time—never reuse old liquid
