Am I taking out my soft contacts (lenses) incorrectly?


I'm right handed, so I hold my upper eyelid with my left thumb and lower eyelid with my right middle finger. I look towards my nose and slide the contact to the side/corner of the eye and use my right thumb and index finger to pinch it out.

Is this way incorrect? The optician taught me the way where I slide the contact DOWN, but I find sliding the contact to the SIDE is easier. Is the way I'm using incorrect, and could it damage my eye?

They are soft contacts.
