Wearing decorative contact lenses, also known as colored contact lenses, requires following specific steps to ensure comfort and safety. Steps for wearing decorative contact lenses: 1. Clean your hands: Thoroughly wash your hands first to avoid bacterial contamination of the lenses. 2. Check the lens: Before removing the lens from its packaging, confirm that it is not damaged or folded, and distinguish the front from the back side. The front side usually appears bowl-shaped, while the back side looks more like a saucer. 3. Prepare the lens: Place the lens in a clean holder and rinse it with fresh contact lens solution to ensure it is moistened. 4. Position the lens: Look straight ahead and gently place the lens on the center of your eye, allowing it to settle naturally. 5. Adjust the position: If discomfort occurs, do not rub your eyes; instead, blink several times or gently move your eyeball to help the lens settle into the proper position. Note that improper use of decorative contact lenses may cause harm to your eyes, so correct usage and proper care are important.
