Insertion of contact lenses
Step 1:
The contact lens should be cleaned and rinsed with a multi-purpose solution for soft contact lenses.
Step 2:
For every eye you should make sure that the contact lens is clean, right side up and intact when you place it on the tip of your middle or ring finger, your dominant hand. For right-handers, this is usually the right hand.

Pull your lower eyelid with your middle or ring finger with the same hand that you used in step 2 and use the free hand to hold the upper eyelid firmly open. Now look at the contact lens or into one Mirror while placing the contact lens on your cornea (the large colored circle around your eye). Close not the eye.
Step 4:
Let go of your eyelids now. During the procedure, there should be air bubbles between your cornea and the contact lens close your eye and gently circle them with your finger over the eyelid.
