If it's torn, do NOT put it in your eye.  |

What would it do to my eye?  |

If it is torn or ripped it will cut and damage your eyeball. You will feel like there is something in your eye and it will be one of those times when you really get to rubbing it and when you do that it can scratch your eye. Always wash your hands. That should prevent stinging. When I get a new box I have to take them out of the foil tin they come in and rinse them with my own solution because for some reason the stuff they are packed in burns my eyes like crazy. It burns my aunt's eyes too. I generally place the contact on the tip of my right pointer finger. With left hand I pull up on my eye lid and I pull the bottom of eye down with right middle finger, I look up and put the contact in. While still holding it I roll my eye down and look straight ahead at my finger and slowly take it away. If the contact is stuck to my finger I just apply a little more pressure to kinda get it to stick. If you don't have it positioned and you blink it will pop out. Until you get the hang of putting them in you should sit down somewhere, like the kitchen table with a paper towel down in front of you so that if you drop it, it will fall on the paper towel. If you have to try repeatedly you should rinse it off in between. Once you get an eye infection you are susceptible to getting them repeatedly and because there is a such a risk with infection and loss of eye sight it is highly unlikely that after being treated for an infection that a doctor will prescribe them again..  |

whenever you put them in(or do anything with them) put a towel(prefureablly a darker one) down in the sink(to cover the drain hole and help you find it if you drop it)  |
