Wash your hands with plain soap without any moisturisers or perfumes, rinse well, then dry your hands.

Check that the contact lens is the right way up. Place the contact lens on the tip of your index finger and hold it up to the light. It should look like a bowl with straight edges. If the edges curve outwards it’s inside out – just add a few drops of solution and gently turn the contact lens the right way round.

Place the contact lens on the tip of your index finger and with the middle finger of the same hand pull down your lower eyelid. Use the fingers of your other hand to lift your upper eyelid and place the contact lens directly onto your eye.

Whilst looking down release the lower eyelid first, then the upper lid. Blink gently to centre the contact lens.
