How to Put in Lenses with Eyelash Extensions: Step-By-Step

Based on our observations, combining contact lenses with eyelash extensions can be a seamless process when done correctly. Here's a step-by-step guide to help you navigate inserting contact lenses with ease:

• Wash your hands: Start with clean, dry hands to avoid transferring dirt or bacteria to your eyes or lenses.
• Prepare your space: Set up a well-lit area with a mirror. Have your contact lens case, solution, and a pair of tweezers or a lash applicator handy.
• Handle your lenses carefully: Gently remove one lens from its case, being cautious to prevent tearing it. Using products like Acuvue Oasys or Air Optix Hydraglyde ensures your eyes get quality lenses that are easy to handle and comfortable to wear.

• Check the lens: Inspect the lens for any damage or debris. Ensure it's not inside out by looking at the profile of the lens. It should form a rounded shape as opposed to a flared or inverted shape.
• Apply the lens: Tilt your head back slightly, hold your upper eyelid with one finger, and gently pull down the lower eyelid with another finger. Place the lens on the eye gently. Release your eyelids slowly and blink to settle the lens.

Tip: Open your eye as wide as you can to allow for enough room - extension may otherwise interfere with the process. The same technique applies when learning how to get contacts in small eyes.

1. Repeat for the other eye: Follow the same process for the other lens.
2. Check your vision: If your vision is clear and the lenses feel comfortable, you've successfully put them in!
3. Mind your extensions: Avoid touching your eyelash extensions. If necessary, use a lash applicator or tweezers to carefully adjust them without touching the lenses.

Remember, using quality products like the ones available from Fresh Lens can significantly enhance your experience.

Whether you choose daily contacts or a monthly contact lens, our range ensures comfort and ease post-application.

How to Remove Contacts with Eyelash Extensions

Removing your contact lenses whilst wearing eyelash extensions doesn't have to be a daunting task. With a little care and the right technique, you can protect your lashes while maintaining your eye health. Here's how:

• Clean hands make a huge difference: Begin with thoroughly washed and dried hands. This step is pivotal for preventing contamination and eye irritation.

• Get the right tools: Prepare your contact lens case and solution (we recommend Opti-Free Pure Moist) to keep your lenses safe and hydrated after removal. A rewetting solution is handy if you find the contact not sticking to eye.
• Look up, not down: Stand or sit in front of a mirror in a well-lit area. Look up slightly, rather than closing your eyes or looking straight ahead, to avoid contact with the extensions.
• A gentle touch is key: With your non-dominant hand, gently hold your upper eyelid to keep your lashes out of the way. With your dominant hand, use your index finger and thumb to softly pinch the lens, taking care not to clamp down on the lashes.
• Slide and pinch technique: Slide the lens down to the white part of your eye before pinching it. This method reduces the chances of catching your eyelashes while removing the lens.
• Lens care is crucial: After removal, clean and store your lenses as recommended. Use fresh solution and place each lens in its corresponding cup. Our research indicates that this will prevent confusion about which lens belongs to the left or right eye.
• Check your extensions: If any eyelash extensions have dislodged, use a tweezer or applicator to reposition them gently.
