What should you do if cannot get your contact lens to go in?

Here are some tips if you are having trouble getting your contact lens in:

- Wash and dry your hands thoroughly before handling your contact lenses. This will help prevent the spread of bacteria and other contaminants.

- Gently pull your lower eyelid down and look up. This will help to create a pocket for the lens.

- Place the lens on your finger and carefully slide it into your eye. Be sure to center the lens on your pupil.

- Blink a few times to help the lens settle into place. You may need to adjust the position of the lens with your finger if it is not centered correctly.

- If you are still having trouble getting your contact lens in, try using a contact lens insertion tool. These tools can be purchased at most drug stores and eye care centers.

- If you have any pain or discomfort, remove the contact lens immediately and consult your eye doctor.

Here are some additional tips that may help:

- Wet the contact lens with a few drops of saline solution before you insert it. This will help to make the lens more slippery and easier to insert.

- If you are wearing long nails, trim them short to prevent them from scratching your eye.

- If you have dry eyes, try using a lubricating eye drop before you insert your contact lenses. This will help to prevent the lenses from drying out and becoming uncomfortable.

- Be patient. It may take some practice before you are able to insert your contact lenses easily.
