After a few hours, you may find yourself having to remove your contacts due to the dryness becoming so irritating. There are however, some types of contact lenses that can contribute to dryness as well. A majority of contact lenses are made of water and polymers, most being more than 50% water. Even though the contact is moist and may feel comfortable in your eye, the water will start to evaporate from the contact lens as you wear it. It may take you a few tries, although the more you put them in the better you ll get at it. Taking your contacts out Same as before, you want to make sure that your hands are clean and dry. When you are ready to take them out, look up with your eye then use your fingers to grab the contact by the sides and pull it out. Normally, after you have been fitted for contact lenses, the optician and his staff will show you how to put your contacts in, how to care for them, and anything else you need to know about them. Taking care of your contact isn t hard to do. As long as you take care of them, they will take care of you. You can have a lot of fun with colored lenses - especially when you show them off to friends and family - who don t know you have them.
