Gently pinching the lens and lifting it out is the proper technique for removing soft contact lenses. This helps avoid damage or irritation to the eye. Having the client look up or pulling the lower eyelid upward can also be helpful in removing the lenses, but gently pinching is the primary technique. Using the pad of the ring finger is not recommended as it can lead to damage to the eye or contact lens.
