Winko Contact Lens Wear and Care Guide

Wash Your Hands:

Always wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water before handling your contact lenses.

Dry your hands with a lint-free towel to avoid transferring debris to your lenses.

Wetting Your Lenses:

Wetting your lenses with the solution keeps them moist and comfortable to wear while cleaning and disinfecting them.

Inspect Your Lenses:

Carefully inspect your lenses for any damage or debris before inserting them.

Do not use lenses that are torn, scratched, or otherwise damaged.

Prepare the Lens:

Place the lens on the tip of your finger and ensure it is not inside out. The lens should have a bowl-like shape.

Insert the Lens:

Hold your upper eyelid open with one hand and gently pull down your lower eyelid with the other hand.

Look up and place the lens on the lower part of your eye.

Slowly release your eyelids and blink several times to center the lens.

Allow Lenses to Settle and Avoid Eye Rubbing

Close your eyes for a second to allow the lens to settle comfortably.

Refrain from rubbing your eyes while wearing contact lenses to prevent irritation and damage.
