You just made my life easier, I was taught to remove soft contacts by pinching them. I have so much trouble getting them out this way. After watching you video sliding them down and removing, changed my feeling about my contacts thank you keep making these videos please! I don't know why they taught me to pinch them but my first soft contacts were back in the mid 90s and I hated getting them out ever since! This week I finally got a new lenses that I have finally been and I can wear the for 9 hours, before I always had to have a full kit on me to remove them after 6. I did research and asked my optometrist for the brand I wanted to try, it is game changing.

My doctor said “Slide the lens to the left or right of the eye. That breaks the suction between the lens & eye. That makes it easy to remove.”

I have worn HARD contact lens for 60 years (yes, not a typo) and I never used tools to insert or remove them. I stand upright looking into a mirror, put the hard lens on my bottom lid and then raise the bottom lid to place the hard lens directly onto the pupil. Works well. To remove the RGP lens, I simply tug on my eyelid and they pop out. May take a couple of tries. My Optometrist just gave me a soft lens (not toric) to try and I struggled getting them in and out. Thanks for this video. Now I think I know how to manage the soft lens.

Super useful video, I have been thinking about buying these products for a long time but didn't know if they'll be right for me but bc of this video ik that my fingers are best for both makeup and contact. Thanks!! (PS the grunts when the contacts drop, SUPER relatable lmaoo)

The suction cup thingy is for hard lens correct but you can remove soft lens by pinching it at the base, dont suck or slide it around your eyeball. Instead of your fingers or fingernail the cup touches your lens (pinch it out like you would with fingers with the cup between your finger and lens). For me it helps that I wont accidentally hurt my eye with manicure nails (my fingers and nails only touch the cup). :)

I like the tweezers. Not for anything other than picking up the contact out of the box. Basically it’ll help me not touch the inside of the lens making it basically spotless on my eye

The best method I've found and safest to remove is. Dragging the eye down with one hand. Chin right in to give a double chin so its touching neck. Look up into the mirror which exposes the white of the eye at the bottom. You will see the lens sits about a mm around the colour part of eye. You will be aiming for where the colour part meets the white. Using your other hand shape it like this 👉 so you are pointing index at your nose. Place index finger on that mm of lens at bottom of colour part where it meets the white and drag. As you drag down don't just drag down straight it will just remain on the eye or go in bottom lid. Drag it like a 'J' shape following the shape of your nose. You need to keep slight pressure all the way down and it will flick the lens over the bottom lid when you complete the bottom of the J shape. Usually takes 1 to 3 drags but don't forget if you blink the lens moves back to the colour part. You must also keep eye still and focused to make sure your catching that mm at the bottom centre and watch it in the mirror. If you look side ways or up eg. not looking up into the mirror, you are just dragging the white part with no lens. Safe, no pinching, good for false nails too. Very easy 👌 The position would be 2.55 but with chin down, look up into mirror and his R hand (one with stick) like 👈 Let me know if it helped anyone below.

Oh wow really appreciate your video, the information is so helpful! I always used RGP, and it was no problem removing them with DMV plunger. But I recently switched over to soft contacts and been having trouble removing my lens every night haha. I love your method using fingers, and some of these tools look super interesting, thank you so much for trying them all out!

I'm very new to contact lenses. The second day was 10 times faster than the first day. For removing the lens I found it easier to make sure to roll the finger and thumb together when pinching. I see it in example videos, but you have to stay disciplined and not blink, or squint, etc.

This was the one of the most helpful and relatable videos that I have ever watched. Thank you for sharing.

What are the symptoms of the cornea disease I think I may have something like that

I'm new to wearing contacts and been looking at applicators and been curious about them and when you showed how you removed it at the end I was thinking "I must of been doing something right" because I tried that. Still had difficulty doing it the other night but once you said dislodged now I know what else I should do. Currently I've only worn contacts twice and still deciding if I want dailies or long wears.

I'm 37 and got contacts for the first time about 2 weeks ago. My "instruction" included a ~30 minute video and practical, which included placing and removing the lens. The entire time I was in office, they had gangsta rap blaring (I love rap thats not the problem), and I could still hear them talking shit about how they wish they never sold contacts again. So unprofessional. I hate it there. Now, I'm not sure how confident I am using contacts. Oh well

I'm glad I don't have long nails and I did have great success with your method of sliding it down onto the white part as you demonstrated! ty ty

Thanks for this video because it resolves a lot of my questions on contact lens tools.

Hmm. I was actually looking to buy one of those suction cup ones but not anymore! I’m glad I came back to your channel to see what you thought about it. I have such difficulty getting my contact out but maybe I’m just not dislodging it enough. The problem is I can’t see if I’ve successfully dislodged it or where to grab it. I’ll just have to keep working on it.

Haha omg this video was great super helpful but also hilarious. I just got some long nails and I’m not used to them so it was taking forever to remove my contacts so I bought that eye plunger tool not realizing it’s for hard lenses only (different company that didn’t label it that way) and when I tried using it I felt like my eyeball was going to come out 😂😂 lesson learned lol

This was great! But maybe it is worth trying the hard contact remover but slide the lens over first? i.e. Stick it on like you did at the 11:44 mark but instead of pulling straight out, move the lens sideways so it off the cornea and then pull? I have rough finger tips and did not realize I had a splinter in my index finger while trying to remove a lens. Ouch.

I'm so glad I came across your video because I was actually going to buy some of these tools for him as I've seen them before, so I was looking for some reviews. But I'll definitely get him to try dragging the contacts to the bottom of his lid tomorrow, (IF he'll give the contacts another go. I think he was done with them after tonight).

Can you try this with the bottom of the plunger cut off to allow air through and reduce the suction. Maybe with a scleral lens applicator cuz they have a hole going through the center

what a great video :D

2:34 From what I've seen on the advertisements and online tutorials, that's not the applicator, that's the end you use to remove the lens from your eye. The other end which you were using to remove the lens is the actual applicator. You got the ends mixed up. I have eczema and need to keep my hands moisturised. I'm considering a tool like this. From what I've seen Sometimes cutting nails are not exactly the convenient or ideal solution. Some people have acrylic nails which cost a lot of money to get (e.g. $150AUD fancy acrylics) and which they often intend to wear for mor than a week or two, so they wouldn't exactly want to cut off their nails to just to put contact lens on, removing acrylics take time as you sometimes have to first file them down (not just the free edge, but also the area that's on the real nail), to get them thin enough to be clipped off in the first place. Other than that, I also see those tools are a great alternative if you have also torn off your nail and you have to keep the injured nail bed away from other liquids.

I will give you a like for 11:30 hahaha and also for the tip on removing the contact lenses, its really the hardest part for me, especially with my astigmatism.

amazing method to remove the contact.!

I have to say I never once thought about using a tool. Partly because I got them in and out after two tries the first time I ever did it. But also because oh. my. god. Using a tool sounds terrifying.

Yeah that first one isn't working because you're using it all wrong. You put the lens on the handle end, that's why it fell off. You INSERT the lens by picking it up with the tweezers, place it in the suction cup at the OTHER end, and then insert. You then use the tweezers to extract.

I’m a new contact patient starting in my mid 40’s. I’m having a hard time putting them in and really a hard taking them out. I have only successfully got them out with the push out technique (by looking down towards the nose and pushing downward with my top eye lid. Like I’m trying to rub them out I can’t do the tweezer pinch or slide the contact to the side and the pinch it, out) It has taken me an hour or more to just put one contact in. I know it takes patience. I also get this burning sensation on the bottom eye lid when I’m putting them in. I do have somewhat of slanted eyes as I’m Pacific Islander decent. What do you think I should try. I can’t pull my upper eye lid up as I get scared and my eye lid goes crazy and I want to blink. I have noticed that I have to start with my face looking downward as I look up with my eye to get them in. Do you have any suggestions?

@kristianl7117

Hi, you might have gotten the hang of it now, but here are some tips: When inserting the lens, I would suggest using both hands. Using the right hand you will pull down the lower eyelid and place the lens. With the left hand you will have to place your arm on top of your head, reach down and pull up your top eyelid. If you need to blink while pulling your top eyelid you are probably touching your eye, try holding it open by your lashes instead. As for removal: sliding the lenses down and pinching should be the easiest way of removing them, but if you really aren't able to you can use some eye solution to flush them out. Hope this helps!
