HAPTIC LENS REMOVAL
Have the patient look down. With the
index finger over the lashes on the nasal
side of the lid, bring the lid up and
around the lens edge. As the lid is moved
around the lens edge, the lid should go
under the edge of the lens. The finger
should be moved all the way around to the
temporal side. Do NOT stop with the
finger in the superior position, keep
bringing the finger around to the temporal
side.
If only takes light pressure if done
correctly. The lid margin must be kept
tight against the sclera.
The lens may just fall out of the eye at
this point. If it does not, have the
patient look up and the lens will roll out.
