Insertion & Removal advice specific to Hybrid lenses
Insertion requires that the lenses are filled with solution prior to insertion, non-preserved saline is recomended his creates the difficulty of having to insert the lens vertically instead of in front of a mirror. A small applicator can be used to rest the lens on or you can group your index and middle fingers with your thumb to form a tripod to rest the fluid filled lens upon. The lens can then be slowly applied directly to the cornea ensuring that the eyelids are stretched wide enough to accommodate the whole lens using the other hand.
Removal of hybrid lenses is achieved with a technique whereby the patient gently pinched the thumb and index finger together at the very bottom on the soft skirt of the lens ensuring that your thumb and finger are very dry. Then gently lift the lens off the eye. |
