How to Apply Manson Halloween Contact Lenses Safely

Quick answer

To apply Manson Halloween contact lenses safely, always start with clean, dry hands, inspect the lens for damage, and place it on your eye with a gentle, steady motion. Never share lenses or sleep in them.

Step-by-step application guide

1. Wash and dry your hands thoroughly: Use a mild, fragrance-free soap and warm water. Scrub for at least 20 seconds, then dry with a lint-free towel. Any residue or moisture on your fingers can cause the lens to stick or become contaminated. Do not use moisturizing soaps; they leave a film that can cloud the lens.
2. Inspect the lens before touching your eye: Place the Manson lens on your clean fingertip and hold it up to the light. Check for tears, chips, or debris. Also confirm the lens is not inside out — the edges should form a smooth bowl, not a flared lip. If the lens looks damaged, do not use it. Discard and open a fresh one.
3. Rinse the lens with fresh solution: Even if the lens came pre-soaked, give it a quick rinse with multipurpose contact lens solution. Never use water, saliva, or saline alone — these do not disinfect and can introduce harmful microorganisms. Always use fresh solution; never top off old solution in the case.
4. Position the lens on your eye: Hold your upper eyelid open with one hand and pull down your lower lid with the other. Look up or straight ahead, then gently place the lens on the white part of your eye (sclera). Release your lids slowly and blink to center the lens. If the lens feels scratchy or moves too much, remove it, rinse, and try again.
5. Check your vision and comfort: Once the lens is in place, blink a few times and look around. The lens should feel comfortable and stay centered. If your vision is blurry or the lens feels dry, apply a drop of rewetting solution approved for contact lenses. Do not drive if your vision is impaired by the lens design — Manson lenses are for costume use only.
6. Remove and store properly after use: Wash hands again before removal. Use the same pinch-and-slide technique: look up, gently pinch the lens with your thumb and index finger, and slide it down before removing. For monthly or yearly lenses, clean and store them in a fresh case with new solution immediately. Never sleep in costume lenses. Remove them before showering or swimming.
