Watch a genius but simple hack for removing contact lenses – without touching the eyeball

A woman has gone viral after sharing a genius yet simple hack for removing contact lenses in seconds – and you don’t even need to touch your eyeball to do so.

Social media star Lala, 24, from Germany, went viral after sharing her top tips for removing lenses in just three simple steps.

First, she pulls her upper and lower eyelids apart, then simply looks sideways and blinks.

The lens pops right out, falling onto her eyelashes so she can easily retrieve it.

After sharing the video on TikTok, Lala racked up more than 565,000 likes and nearly 7,000 comments, with the hack blowing viewers' minds.

One person commented: “Yall if I had known about this trick I would have begged for contacts years ago.” [sic]

“Girly you really out her changing everyone’s life,” another fan said.

Someone else wrote: “Omg…the way I was struggling this entire time taking contacts out.”

“Omg I didn’t know u can take them out like that,” another person commented. [sic]

“I’ve only been doing the trick since the beginning of April because I’ve struggled to take out my contacts when I got them,” Lala told Jam Press.

“I didn’t expect it to get so many views but I’m glad it could help people with the same struggles.

“People always find it odd because they have never seen anyone put contact lenses in or out without touching the eye with their finger.”

Lala said she is less accomplished at putting lenses in but a further video shows the star easily popping the lenses into her eyes.

She simply pulls her eyelid down, places the contact on the inner bottom eyelid, pulls up her top eyelid and blinks the lens into place. .

[stefanievalle]

It works! I’ve literally pinched my eyes so painfully before trying to take out contacts with my long nails 🥺 this was so easy though

[Lexcyyy]

[sandrawatt]

Yes, for us people with tiny eyes, this is very helpful!

[GotDaPah]

OMGG A LITERAL LIFE SAVIOR!!!! Ive been struggling for the last 2 hours and broke down couple of times panicking cus i couldnt get these contacts off. Now watching this amd try it myself. I wanna cry. It works!!! Thank you😭

[carolscards]

Oh my days, I’ve been wearing contacts for years and, this is the first time one has got stuck in my eye. After 15 minuets, I came in here and saw your video straight away! It worked in 1 second! Thank you!

After 1.5 hours of struggling, I finally came across this video and removed the friggin left contact lens after stretching the outer corner (making my eye smaller) + stretching upper and lower eyelids + glancing to the inner corner with maximum strength. it's now 3:30am and I can finally sleep.

UPDATE (10 Aug 2024) I did a double eyelid surgery 1.5 weeks ago and my left contact lens got stuck (AGAIN) because i didn't have eye drops with me. THIS METHOD IS STILL THE WINNER AND MY DOUBLE EYELID IS STILL THERE.

Ain’t nobody talking about how calming her voice is, beautiful soul, positive vibes. Straight to the point and her trick works instead inf if bored is with a 10minutes vid of basically doing the damn thing.

Thank you beautiful lady

I just got contacts for the first time in my life and getting them out was WAY harder and took twice as long as putting them in. This has helped so much! Thank you!

[robokill]

OH MY GOD THANK YOU MUCH, THIS HAS SAVED ME A VISIT TO THE DOCTOR. I have been trying to get it out for 2 hours and have irritated my eyes badly, they are bloodshot and sore, I tried every single method with no success, then I rested for an hour to let my eyes recover and tried this, and it worked with 3 attempts no problem, no poking the eyes, no pain, no tricky movements that require loads of dexterity, just 1 simple motion that pushes it out easily.

[idamagnolia]

They should teach this in the contact class. I got scared of not getting them out. Can't believe it worked so fast and painless.😊

[bb-ptie]

1st time putting on contact and I thought that was easy but once it was time to take them out I panicked I didn't know how to take them out it was sooo painful trying to take the contact out but this 100% workwe this is a life saver! Thank you for post this video!!!😁

[kathleenbluestein]

[Enaflash]

Hell ya! You saved me tonight!! First time with contacts in and I spent an hour and a half tonight watching video after video trying to get them out.
I tried your method and FINALLY got ONE out. Hallelujah!!
Second one was really stubborn but with many more attempts -I got it out. My eye balls and inner lids are on fire right now but at least I can go to bed! Thank you!!!!🙏🏻 💜

So she pulls open her eyes, looks as much as possible to the side towards her nose, then blinks.. I tried several times and it hasn't worked
