Step-by-Step Guide to Inserting Sclera Lenses

22mm Sclera Lenses are Contact Lenses that cover not only the cornea but also a large portion of the sclera, the white of the eye. Popular in cosplay, film, or simply for a striking look at parties, these Halloween Lenses create a dramatic effect. However, their larger size makes them a little trickier to insert than regular Contact Lenses. If you're curious about how to insert them, here's a step-by-step guide to help you wear them safely and comfortably.

How to Insert Sclera Lenses: Preparation and Hygiene

Before handling Sclera Lenses, it is essential to follow strict hygiene rules to avoid eye infections:

1. Wash your hands thoroughly with a mild, unscented soap. Make sure your hands are completely dry before handling the lenses.

2. Prepare your equipment: Make sure your Sclera Lenses are thoroughly cleaned and disinfected with a specific solution for Sclera Lenses. Always use the solution recommended by your optician.

3. Use a well-lit mirror for better visibility during insertion.

How to Insert Sclera Lenses: Fill the Lens with Saline Solution

Unlike Standard Contact Lenses, Sclera Lenses require filling with Multipurpose Soft Lens Solution before being placed in the eye.

1. Hold the lens with both hands: rest it either on your fingertips or on a small insertion tool if you have one.

2. Fill the lens with solution saline solution until it is completely filled. This helps remove air between the lens and the surface of the eye, preventing air bubbles that could interfere with your vision.

How to Insert Sclera Lenses: Position the Lens Correctly

1. Tilt your head slightly forward so that your eye is parallel to the floor. This makes it easier to insert the Sclera Lens without the saline solution spilling out.

2. Spread your eyelids with your fingers. Use one hand to hold your upper eyelid open and the other to lower your lower eyelid. This will give you enough space to place the lens without blinking.

How to Put in Sclera Lenses: Inserting the Lens

1. Place the lens gently on your eye. The edge of the Sclera Lens should be in contact with the white sclera. Make sure to place the Sclera Lens directly on your eye and press gently so that it adheres to the surface.

2. Gently release your eyelids once the Sclera Lens is securely in place.

3. Blink slowly to check that the Sclera Lens is securely in place and not moving. You may feel some initial discomfort, but this should quickly disappear.

How to Insert Sclera Lenses: Post-Insertion Adjustments

After inserting the Sclera Lens, you may need to make some adjustments:

1. Check for air bubbles. If you see air bubbles under the Sclera Lens, this may indicate that the Sclera Lens is not properly adhered to the eye. If this happens, remove it, refill it with saline solution, and repeat the process.

2. Adjust the lens if necessary. Sometimes, the Sclera Lens may not be perfectly centered. If you experience discomfort or blurred vision, gently use your eyelids to adjust the lens position.

How to Insert Sclera Lenses: Removing Scleral Lenses

Inserting and removing sclera lenses takes practice. Here are the steps for safe removal:

1. Wash your hands again to prevent contamination.

2. Use your fingers or a sclera lens removal tool: To remove, lower your lower eyelid and gently pull the sclera lens away from your eye.

3. Clean your sclera lenses after each use. Place them in a Sclera Lens Case with a special sclera lens solution to properly disinfect them.

How to Put in Sclera Lenses: Additional Tips

• Practice with patience. If you've never worn sclera lenses before, it may seem difficult at first. The key is to practice regularly and be patient with yourself.

• Avoid sleeping in your sclera lenses unless specifically recommended by your eye care professional.

• Consult an eye care professional before using sclera lenses. An optician or ophthalmologist can help you choose the right lenses and show you the proper technique for safely inserting and removing them.

Wearing 22mm Sclera Lenses can create an incredibly unique and impressive look, but they require some skill. With careful hygiene and a little practice, you'll be able to put them in and take them out easily while protecting your eyes.
