How To Remove Hybrid Contact Lenses
This video describes how to remove hybrid contact lenses with a slippery surface. With practice you should become comfortable removing your lenses. Wash hands and with very dry fingers:
1.) Using one hand, pull your upper lid back.
2.) Using your finger on the opposite hand, pull down your lower lid gently.
3.) Place very dry fingertips at the 5 and 7 o’clock positions on the lens and apply slight pressure; wait for a “1, 2” count and then roll fingertips together and back toward the palm of the hand.
4.) Fingers need to be dried with a towel between each removal attempt. Rubbing fingers together until heat is felt from the friction will also ensure fingers are completely dry.
Also, an alternative method of removal is the “tissue trainer” method:
1.) Place the tissue over your forefinger and thumb.
2.) Using a strong narrow pinch, with the fingertips at the 5 and 7 o’clock positions on the lens, apply slight pressure; wait for a “1, 2” count and then roll fingertips together and back toward the palm of the hand.
