Abstract

An object of the invention is to provide an application method capable of facilitating the application of the soft contact lens without using any instrument, a liquid for contact lenses capable of being used for the application method, and a soft contact lens package. The present invention is a method for applying a soft contact lens, including a shrinkage step of shrinking a soft contact lens by contacting the soft contact lens with a liquid for contact lenses, the liquid for contact lenses being capable of shrinking the soft contact lens to a state of being more intensively shrunken than an equilibrium state thereof in a physiological saline; and an application step of applying the shrunken soft contact lens to the eye, in which after the application step, the size of the soft contact lens is restored.
