SiH Lens Removal Advice

Our new Silicone Hydrogel material is highly water retentive, resulting in a more slippery surface. When removing these soft lenses from the eye some wearers prefer to use the usual "pinch off" method as for normal soft contact lenses and others prefer an alternative removal approach which is to apply lid pressure from the top and bottom, using the same method as that for the removal of an RGP lens.

It is important that you ask your contact lens practitioner to advise what is best for you as professional advice is essential for healthy contact lens wear.
