Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To safely remove an artificial eye, hold the eye open using the nondominant hand by positioning your thumb on the lower lid and forefinger on the upper lid. Depress the lower lid and slide the prosthesis out. You would not grasp the artificial eye on both sides and pull it out or "pop" it out by squeezing the skin on either side of the eyeball. Pulling on the outer canthus and having the client blink is the way to remove hard contact lenses.
