8. After the lens is placed, let go of your lower eyelid first and then gently close your upper eyelid.

3. If the lens is not below the cornea, then it is either under the upper eyelid or it has fallen out.
4. If the lens is under the upper eyelid than look down towards the floor and gently touch the skin of the upper eyelid to find the lens.
