There are two methods that can be used to remove the ocular prosthesis from the eye socket. Both would begin with the hands being washed thoroughly.
REINSERTION OF THE PROSTHESIS:
Wash hands thoroughly. Moisten the prosthesis with water or a wetting solution for easier insertion. Hold the prosthesis by the outer edges with the thumb and forefinger with the black dot(s) upward. Look into the mirror and place the thumb or a finger from the other hand on the upper eyelid and lashes and pull up toward the brow. This will create a large opening. Bring the prosthesis up past the lower lid and set it flush to the lid and orbital tissues and continue to insert the upper edge of the prosthesis under the upper lid until most of the iris portion is covered. Continue the upward motion by placing the index finger on the front surface of the prosthesis (the thumb and forefinger have been released). At this stage, you can release the upper lid and pull the lower lid downward; this should allow the entire prosthesis to be in the cavity.
