Sep 23,2025 | GleGlow
At Gleglow, your eye health and comfort come first. Follow these 7 simple steps to enjoy your lenses safely and beautifully.
1. Clean and Dry Hands
Always wash and dry your hands before handling lenses to avoid dirt and bacteria.
2. Check the Lens
Place the lens on your fingertip. If the edges flip outward like a disc, it’s inside out—adjust before wearing.
3. Hold Eyelids Open
Use both hands to gently hold your upper and lower eyelids open.
4. Place the Lens
Lift your eyelids and slide the lens toward your eye carefully.
5. Settle the Lens
Gently rotate your eyeball to help the lens fit snugly and comfortably.
6. Adjust on the Eye
Use your fingers to slide the lens into the correct position on the white of your eye if needed.
7. Remove with Care
When removing, use the pads of your thumb and index finger to gently pinch and lift the lens off your eye.
Tip from Gleglow: Always store your lenses in fresh solution and follow the recommended wear schedule for maximum comfort.
