How to Wear Contacts for the First Time (Insert, Remove, Clean) @DoctorEyeHealth

Uploaded August 2026 | Updated September 2026, 2 weeks ago

Learn how to wear contact lenses safely with this guide from a board certified optometrist. Master the basics of handling your contacts.

If you are struggling with your daily eye care routine, this video walks you through the essential steps to put in contact lenses properly and how to remove contact lenses without irritation. As a doctor of optometry, I focus on helping you understand the proper techniques for handling your vision products.

Beyond insertion and removal, we cover the best practices for contact lens care to keep your eyes healthy. You will learn how to clean your lenses and avoid common mistakes that many new users make. While this tutorial provides a solid foundation, I always recommend seeking professional contact lens training at your local eye care office for hands-on practice.

🔷PRO TIP!
Ask your local eye doctor or eye clinic about rebates and benefits to save money on your contacts! You will be supporting a local business and it will grant you better services and advantages than purchasing online.

✅ If shopping for soft contacts online, consider purchasing from a trusted online retailer:

$I Tried the NEW Zenni Night Driving Glasses Struggling with bright headlights while driving? Curious about the new Zenni night driving glasses? Watch this video as I test them out and discuss how they work for nighttime driving. Sponsored by Zenni Optical https://zenni.pxf.io/PO0Lrz Night driving glasses are specialized eyewear designed to improve vision and reduce glare while driving in low-light conditions. They often feature anti-reflective coatings that help minimize reflections from streetlights and oncoming headlights, which can enhance clarity and reduce eye strain. These new Night Driving Glasses from Zenni feature lenses that have minimal yellow tint while also utilizing what is called NeoContrast Technology. Which is designed to enhance contrast and boost clarity, especially in low-light situations. While night driving glasses may provide enhanced comfort for some drivers, it is important that if you experience significant difficulties with night vision or glare, you should have a comprehensive eye exam to rule out underlying issues such as cataracts, dry eyes, or uncorrected refractive errors that might be contributing to the problem.
