Hi,
I was wondering if anyone has any helpful techniques for getting a patient's upper eye lid fully inverted? I recently, had the "my contact lens is stuck in my eye" patient and was having great difficulty getting the upper lid fully inverted. Luckily, the patient helped me out. But aside from just picking it up and folding backward (which seemed for me to be harder to accomplish then it sounds) is there any better technique anyone might have been taught? Perhaps, I'm just being to squeamish about it. Anyways, thank you in advance for your time.
