If you’re looking for some tips about how to put in contact lenses, this video should tell you everything you need to know.

1. First, wash and dry your hands.
2. Make sure you use the correct lens for each eye (some people need different prescriptions for their left and right eyes).
3. Check the lens looks okay - it should be a bowl shape. If it has a lip it means it’s inside out.
4. Before you put it on, hold it up and check for any tears or bits of debris.
5. If it’s dirty then use some fresh solution to clean it, but if it’s damaged you’ll have to throw it away.
6. The easiest way to insert your lens is to place it on the tip of your index finger and with your free hand, pull the top eyelid up – this will help you to stop your blinking reaction.
7. Pull your bottom eyelid down and bring the lens towards the centre of your eye.
8. Once the lens is on move your eyes from side to side and then close them both. This gets rid of any air bubbles trapped under the lens and makes sure it’s in the right position.
10. Then just repeat on the other eye, and you're all done.
