| Removal
- Finger Method |
 |
NOTE:
Minutes before you begin removal, it is important that
you place a drop or two of wetting solution in the eye.
Develop the habit of working with the same lens first
to avoid mix-ups. Hold the upper lid up & away from the
eye. Create a clear path for the lens to the eye. Bring
the lens up to the eye slowly, touch the lens to the eye.
Once in place, release lids & blink. Using the corresponding
hand to the lens being removed, place one finger on the
upper lid and lashes, and another on the lower lid, directly
center of the lens. Look directly downward, then sharply
upward and nasally. The lens will catch and easily fall
out. Always have the non-corresponding hand cupped under
the eye, to catch the falling lens.
