To remove a hard lens from a patient's eye,the nurse draws the skin surrounding the eye tightly and instructs the patient to blink.Pulling the skin creates mild tension,which the eyelid uses to dislodge the lens from the cornea.Sliding a contact lens onto the sclera and pinching off the lens is the procedure to remove a soft contact lens.To prevent a corneal abrasion,the nurse avoids using suction to remove a contact lens.He or she avoids squeezing the eyelids together to prevent eye and conjunctival trauma from the hard lens.
