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.

In the video, Lala, who has 1.7 million followers on TikTok (@lalaleluu), demonstrates the method.

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.
