RECENTERING THE LENS
Find the location of a decentered
lens by having the patient look in
different positions of gaze and
lifting the lids away to view the
cul-de-sac. Once located, pull
the lid(s) back far enough to get
the lid beyond the edge of the
lens. With the lid margin push
the lens gently back onto the
cornea.
Do NOT rub the lens through the lids or hold the lens in place with the lids and have the patient turn their eye into the lens. Both of these procedures could result in discomfort and/or a cornea abrasion.
