REMOVING THE LENS
PINCHING THE LENS OFF THE INFERIOR SCLERA
Control the patient's lids in the
same way as when placing the
lens on the cornea.
Instruct the patient to look up.
Using your index finger gently slide
the lens off the cornea onto the
sclera
Remove the lens by gently
"pinching" it between the thumb
and index finger of your dominate
hand.
Try to leave a slight space between your thumb and index finger as you pinch it out so that the lens folds instead of creases or tears.
