Wearing contact lenses gives you clear vision without the hassle of glasses, but removing them can sometimes be tricky—especially if you’re new to it. Whether your lenses feel stuck, your eyes are dry, or you’re just unsure about the right technique, this guide will teach you how to remove eye lenses safely and effortlessly.
Plus, we’ll introduce you to Multisol Plus, the ultimate solution for cleaning and maintaining your lenses, ensuring they stay fresh and irritation-free.
1. Why Proper Lens Removal Matters
Learning how to remove contact lenses correctly is important for both your eye health and the longevity of your lenses. Here’s why:
Prevents Eye Irritation – Incorrect removal techniques can cause redness, dryness, and discomfort.
Reduces the Risk of Infection – Touching your lenses with dirty hands can introduce bacteria, leading to eye infections like conjunctivitis.
Protects Your Lenses from Damage – Using too much force or improper techniques can tear soft lenses, making them unusable.
Keeps Your Vision Clear – Residual dirt or debris on your lenses can blur your vision and cause eye strain.
2. Prepping for Lens Removal: What You Need
Before you even think about touching your lenses, make sure you have the right tools:
✔ Multisol Plus Contact Lens Solution – A premium, multi-purpose cleaner that disinfects, hydrates, and removes protein deposits from your lenses.
✔ A Clean Mirror with Good Lighting – Proper lighting helps you see and remove the lens without trouble.
✔ Microfiber or Lint-Free Towel – This ensures that no dust or fibers stick to your fingers and transfer to your eyes.
✔ A Lens Case with Fresh Solution – Never store your lenses in old solution. Always use Multisol Plus for optimal lens hygiene.
3. How to Remove Contact Lenses Step-by-Step
Now, let’s go through the right way to take off lenses safely without irritation or damage.
Step 1: Wash Your Hands Thoroughly
The number one rule before touching your lenses: CLEAN HANDS ONLY!
- Wash your hands with mild, fragrance-free soap (avoid lotions or oily soaps).
- Dry them using a lint-free towel to prevent debris from transferring to your lenses.
Step 2: Look Up and Pull Down Your Lower Eyelid
- Stand in front of a well-lit mirror.
- Use your middle finger to gently pull down your lower eyelid.
- With your index finger, touch the lower edge of the lens.
Step 3: Gently Pinch the Lens
- Using your thumb and index finger, lightly pinch the lens to loosen its grip.
- Slowly lift it off your eye and place it in your palm or lens case.
💡 Pro Tip: If the lens isn’t coming off easily, don’t panic! Blink a few times and try again with dry fingers for better grip.
Step 4: Clean and Store Your Lenses Properly
Once you’ve removed the lens, don’t just throw it in a dry case. Instead:
- Rinse it with Multisol Plus Contact Lens Solution to remove any buildup.
- Fill your lens case with fresh Multisol Plus solution and store the lens.

4. What to Do If Your Lenses Feel Stuck
Sometimes, contact lenses stick to the eye, making them difficult to remove. If this happens:
Step 1: Blink and Use Artificial Tears
- Try blinking rapidly to move the lens naturally.
- If that doesn’t help, apply a few drops of Multisol Plus Lens Hydrating Solution to moisturize your eyes and loosen the lens.

Step 2: Massage Your Eyelid Gently
If your lens still won’t move:
- Close your eye and gently massage the lid to shift the lens.
- Look in different directions to encourage natural movement.
Step 3: Use the Pinch-and-Slide Technique
- Look straight ahead in the mirror.
- Place your finger on the lens and gently slide it down toward the white of your eye.
- Once it’s in a lower position, try pinching it off as described earlier.
DO NOT:
- Force the lens off – This can scratch your cornea!
- Use nails to remove the lens – Always use fingertips to avoid damage.
5. Avoid These Common Contact Lens Removal Mistakes
Even experienced contact lens wearers make mistakes that can lead to irritation, infections, or damaged lenses. Avoid these:
- Not Washing Your Hands First – Always clean your hands to prevent eye infections.
- Using Water Instead of Lens Solution – Never use tap water to rinse or store your lenses. It contains bacteria that can cause eye infections.
- Sleeping with Lenses In – This reduces oxygen supply to your eyes and increases infection risk by 6-8 times.
- Reusing Old Lens Solution – Always use fresh solution (preferably Multisol Plus) to prevent bacteria buildup.
