Testing sensory dominance rather than sighting dominance is the most effective way to achieve successful fitting of soft multifocal lenses.

Blinking too early makes it hard to put in contacts. If you tend to blink or squeeze your eye shut before putting in your contact lens, you may have to hold open your eyelids. If you need to, use two fingers, on one hand, to hold open the bottom and top eyelid, so you don’t blink. Open your eyes widely.
Can you wear daily contacts straight from the package?
If the packaging containing the contact lenses is intact, the lenses are safe for you to put in your eyes directly from the packaging.
Should you dry your hands before putting in contacts?
