Removal

To remove the ocular prosthesis, reverse the insertion process. Again, spread a soft towel in front of you. This time, however, gaze upwards while you remove the prosthesis to open the socket.

Cup your left hand (or right hand if you are lefthanded) under your eye to catch the eye as it is removed. Using your right hand, pull down your lower eyelid in the area closest to your nose. Run your forefinger outward along the lower lid while depressing it. The prosthesis should slide right out into your hand.

Rarely will you need to remove your prosthesis. After you have adjusted to it, you will only need to remove it occasionally for cleaning.
