SiH LENS REMOVAL
Our 74% Silicone Hydrogel material is highly water retentive and has a more slippery surface than other materials; therefore some people may benefit from using an alternative removal approach to the usual “pinch off” method..
The lens can be removed by applying lid pressure from the top and bottom lids in a similar way to that used when removing an RGP lens. An example of the alternative approach to remove SiH lathe-cut contact lenses can be seen below:
Due to the nature of the material and the high water content, these lenses should be handled with care to avoid damage.
