How to Take Out Contact Lenses Easily (Beginners Tutorial)

[@DoctorEyeHealth]

🔷 QOTD: What was your favorite part of the video? Do you have any tips of your own for removing contacts?

[@sodajor]

This is really helpful, thank you so much for sharing so many tips! After 15+ years of using contacts sometimes, you feel like I know it all but it's good to see that I can still improve and give my eyes a better treatment. I have two tips I always suggest: 1. When using contacts you're going to be picking at your eyes A LOT! so a good practice to me was washing my hands and trying to touch my eye (gently) to try to lose the fear of my finger coming into my eye and train them into not blinking as much when putting my contacts in or taking them out :) 2. If your contacts get a bit stuck some people tend to get desperate and tug at them ending up in hurting themselves; so to remove them just a couple eye drops on your eyes (the ones appropriate when using contacts obviously), let it soak in and then, a couple minutes later, try to take them out.

Tonight was my first time removing them. Took 15 min. I hope this works for me too!

[@JStone281]

This worked wonderfully! After struggling for 30 minutes, I turned to KZbin and this video did the trick. The key takeaways for me were (1) do the SMALL kissing motion with your fingers and (2) keep your fingers dry. I was pinching from outside the contact lens, which was probably picking up moisture and preventing my fingers from sticking to the lens. I guess the silver lining to failing for 30 minutes is that I’m now more comfortable with messing with my eyes haha

As an OD, I recommend lowering the chin, looking straight ahead, and sliding the CL down (not sideways) before pinching off. This avoids any risk of fingernail abrasion to the cornea.

I put it to my left eye after 15 minutes but couldn't take it out. I tried to drag it to the left side and then take it with my fingers but lens got gnarled and I started having a panick attack thinking I was damaging my eye trying to take it out. It was so scary. Then I opened my laptop and found your video, trying to do your first method, I got it out on my first or second try. The key is dry fingers and that pinching technique. My fingers were wet till I watched this video I guess that's why I couldn't get it out. Thank you so so much for the video. Plus thanks a lot for the ones who wrote comment, all my friends do this lense process so easily I felt alone but seeing these comments people getting anxiety attacks I felt understood.

I finally was able to put them in after 45 mins. but taking them out was more than frustrating to me. I was truly getting scared. But it's like anything else in life the first time you are trying. Don't get discouraged. You'll get this, just like I did, and the rest of the contact wearing population. I will say that taking them out is a little more trying than putting them in. Just know that the more you do it, the easier it becomes, and this video is awesome! So stay encouraged. You got this!!!

I never comment on videos, but this one is one that I absolutely have to and thank you for! I’ve had multiple sclerosis for 23 years and suffice to say I don’t have great dexterity so, it was a very real struggle and very painful trying to get my contacts out. I can get them in like a champ, but getting them out was excruciating. It got to a point where I kept shoving them up under my eyelids. It was absolutely horrible. Then I stumbled upon this video and I sh!t you not, I did it on my first try using this method. I was absolutely blown away! what made all the difference was explaining the pinching motion with your fingers already still together. I got the right one out on my first try and was still apprehensive and thought maybe it was a fluke and then the left eye, same thing I got it out on my first try. I am totally blown away. This is an incredible tip and IT WORKS! I have terrible fine dexterity and even so, I did it on my first try with both eyes. I am so grateful. You truly have no idea what you’ve done for me. This is a game changer!!😀😊☺️

[@leleprtk]

Just want to thank you for this video! I’ve been taking off my lenses like this for a month and it made my life so much easier! I suffered every single time I got home and had to take them off, it took me over 15mins and now I take them off in less than 20 seconds

Oh my gosh I can’t believe how much you just helped me. I wore contact lenses most of my entire life except for the last five years so I wanted to try to wear them again and got them. I have no problem putting them in but I literally would cry trying to get them out I was so scared, and I couldn’t do it. I looked up every hack on the Internet, trying to follow their guidance. But you are the only one who said after you wash your hands well, make sure they are “bone dry“ I always made sure I put drops in my eyes first and that my fingers were wet because I thought anything else would scratch my eye if I had dry fingers. Well, I just went in the bathroom right now cut my nails way down and tried your method and they came right out. I could literally hug you right now :-)

That's about how long it took me when I tried this trick. I tried and tried and tried earlier and gave up. Each time I've tried I've had problems taking my contacts out and have avoided wearing them because of the difficulty in getting them out. I've worn hard lenses since I was 13, and for the 1st time I have soft lenses and I really have hated them. This video is a life saver, isn't it?!

[@2khz]

i think i might just wait until i get an eye infection under one of the contacts which eats my eye out from the inside because this aint coming out

[@jumbokrab3804]

My trick is to use your middle finger to hold your bottom eyelid and then use both your index fingers, go from the corners of your eye and then squeeze when you get to your iris, so you don't have to hold your top eyelid

I've previously watched his "How to Put Contacts In" video, andI felt confident and less afraid of putting them in (I'm very sensitive with anything touching my eye; I'll start crying and panicking). Now that I've heard it can get stuck under your eyelid, I've sunken back to fear.

[@Glowbloom0404]

noo dont worry about that. they literally cannot get lost in your eye and if they get stuck you can just move it around a bit until it gets loose. i was worried about that to when i started wearing contacts but now i greatly prefer them over glasses and cant wait until i get new ones

(from a trusted store of course.) It took me a couple tries to get them in myself but eventually, I got it!! But I made a couple videos and took some pics and eventually it was time for me to sleep. Obviously I’m not supposed to sleep in these contacts so I needed to take em out. My parents are asleep and I didn’t wanna bother them so I went to KZbin and got to this video. I was on a verge of an anxiety attack but this video helped SO SO much!!! Could thank u enough!! My eyes are doing great :)

[@swedishgirl2506]

You could get contacts u put in once and wear and sleep in for 30 days. They are more expensive because they have a very high oxygen transmission. I have been doing that for years. Only time I had issues is when I wore them for 2 months or when they were hurting and didn't store them properly when I took a week break. I just thought I'd try daily contacts to keep protein build up down and extra clear vision. Less irritation? 😳 Hmm I don't know. I don't think I can deal with the constant hassle of daily in daily out. That's a lot of germs or dirt touching your eye. Maybe after I try this method. Who knows? I might stick with Air Optix Day and Night after all..

[@snehavankineni3213]

it took me 40 minutes 😩

[@swedishgirl2506]

Like I said earlier!!! I Hate, hate, hate daily contacts. I usually wore Optix Day & Night for 1-2 months. After a while, I forget about them cus they're so comfy. But I wanted to give their Focus Dailies a try... Man, what's with the formula? Must be something they're made with because no matter how much I clean them, they never get to that comfy feeling. I either have irritation from the getgo and try to ignore it, or it comes later triggered by something random later..?? Sometimes one eye, or both. I've got a set of 30 and I've never had a problem free day. Taking them out is so Hard like 10x harder!! I feel like crying. They must be thinner. My nails are long I was so scared to scratch my cornea yesterday. When I *occasionally* struggled with Air Optix D&N they were still out by three to five tries. Been a contact wearer for years. Dailies was the reason I had to look up this vid for the first time. Trust me, the less you fiddle with a contact lens, the better. Man, I sure hope dailies aren't your first experience with contacts cus that would definitely make me give up and resign to glasses forever.
