Asking the client how many hours the lenses are worn each day can help the nurse ensure the client is following proper wear and care instructions. It also allows the nurse to assess if the client is experiencing any discomfort or potential complications from prolonged wear. Pinching the lenses out of the client's eyes or removing both lenses before storing is not recommended as it can cause damage to the lenses or eyes. Documenting when the lenses need to be removed and cleaned every 2 weeks is also important but does not assist the client in the daily care of the lenses.
