Answers:
Make sure to wash your hands before you do this!. If your contacts are dry, put a drop or two of your rewetting drops or multipurpose solution in to get them moist again!. Sometimes I find that rubbing my eyes just a little beforehand helps!. Gently pull down your bottom eyelid with your middle finger and, at the same time, use your pointer finger to gently slide the contact downward until it "pops" off!. Once it does this, you can gently pinch it and remove it from your eye!. I am assuming that you will be getting soft contacts!.

Good luck with your new contacts!. I hope you enjoy them!. Some people do not, but I love mine!. Ive been wearing mine for over 8 years now and would not trade them for anything!. Make sure to wear your glasses once in a while though to give your eyes a break! Best of luck!Www@Answer-Health@Com

You can either pinch them out, lightly touch the edeges of the lens with your thumb and finger, then pinch being careful not to actually touch your eye, you'll feel the lens come away from your eye!. As you take your hand from your eye, bring the thumb and finger together if you think you are going to drop the lens (otherwise if you really are going to drop it you could loose it)!. When the lens is out follow the cleaning instructions given to you!.

Or you could slide the lens out!. Put you index finger on the centre of the lens, then slide the lens to the corner of your eye as you blink, this will also cause the lens to lift!.

If your getting RPGs, use one hand to pull you're eyelid to the side with the other hand cupped under the eye, blink this should release the lens!. There is another method to take out RPGs but I'm not sure how to do that!.
