don't know but i do know that they're trying to ban the sale of "trendy" contacts as it can damage the eye.

especially if you don't know how to put them in/take them out!

If right handed, use left hand. Use first two fingers of left hand to hold eye open (the ones you use to flick the v's ). And pich the lense off the surface of the eye with the same fingers on the other hand. Et voila !

wash ahdns well
pull lower lid down gently with one finger and use the thumb and forefinger of the other hand to "pinch" the lens off the eye.

thats how I do it anyway

Use one hand to hokd eye lids out of way
Using other hand, place one finger on eye ball - where lens is, and wipe to one side
Hopefully lens will come wit it

Or, carefully she can use the other hand to gently pinch the lens in the middle of her eye, and getly pull outwards.

pinch the lense gently.

whatever you do don't do it for her. If she can;t get them out she'll have to go to hospital

pinch the contacts between thumb and forefinger, and take lift them out.

I had mad problems with my contacts the first time I wore them...

My DH used to take mine out for me when I first had them. He'd had lenses for 10 years so was well used to putting them in and taking them out.
