About the procedure

Contact lens removal is the process of safely taking out soft, rigid, or scleral contact lenses, either by the patient or a clinician. It is performed routinely for lens replacement, in cases of discomfort, when a lens is stuck, or before ocular procedures. Soft lenses are typically removed manually, while rigid or scleral lenses may require specialised techniques or instruments. A slit-lamp exam may be done if removal is difficult or corneal injury is suspected. Post-removal care includes inspecting the cornea and advising proper lens hygiene to prevent complications.
