Learn step-by-step how to safely insert and remove Fusion Natural contact lenses, plus essential care tips to keep your eyes healthy and lenses comfortable.

Quick Answer

Always wash your hands, inspect the lens, and use a dry fingertip to insert or remove Fusion Natural contact lenses. Follow the step-by-step process below to avoid irritation and keep your lenses safe.

Why Safe Handling Matters

Contact lenses sit directly on your eye, so any mistake in handling can lead to discomfort, infection, or even damage to the lens. Fusion Natural lenses, like the Bora model, are designed for daily wear and require proper care to maintain their comfort and appearance.

Even if you've worn contacts before, colored lenses can have a different fit or thickness. Taking a few extra seconds to follow a consistent routine reduces the risk of tearing or contaminating the lens.

Know Your Lens Before You Start

Before you begin, check the lens packaging for the diameter, base curve, and color. The Bora Fusion Natural lens, for example, comes in a soft green hue with golden undertones and is made with 40% water content and durable HEMA material. These features affect how the lens feels and how you should handle it.

If your lens feels too tight or too loose, stop and consult your eye care professional. Do not force a lens that doesn't fit properly.

Step-by-Step Safe Application and Removal

Wash and Dry Your Hands: Use mild soap and warm water to wash your hands, then dry them with a lint-free towel. Avoid oily or scented soaps that can leave residue on the lens. Checkpoint: Your hands must be completely dry before touching the lens.
Inspect the Lens: Place the lens on your fingertip and check that it is not inside out. The edges should form a smooth cup, not a flared lip. Also look for any tears or debris. If the lens is damaged, do not use it—discard it and use a fresh one.
Insert the Lens: Hold your upper eyelid open with one hand and pull down your lower eyelid with the other. Look straight ahead or slightly upward, then gently place the lens on the center of your eye. Blink slowly to let it settle. Common mistake: Blinking quickly or looking down during insertion can cause the lens to fold or move off-center.
Check the Fit and Comfort: After insertion, blink a few times and check that the lens is centered. You should feel no pain or excessive dryness. If the lens feels uncomfortable, remove it and re-wet it with contact lens solution. Checkpoint: If discomfort persists, do not wear the lens—consult your eye care professional.
Remove the Lens Safely: Wash and dry your hands again. Use your index finger to gently slide the lens down to the white of your eye, then pinch it gently with your thumb and index finger to lift it off. Avoid pressing directly on the center of the lens. Common mistake: Pressing on the center can cause the lens to fold or tear.
Clean and Store the Lens: After removal, clean the lens with contact lens solution and rub it gently with your fingertip. Place it in a clean lens case filled with fresh solution. Never use water or saliva. Checkpoint: Always use fresh solution each time—never reuse old solution.
