How To Remove a Foreign Body From the Eye
Positioning for Removing an Eye Foreign Body
Seat the patient at the slit lamp and sit opposite to the patient during the removal procedure. Stabilize the patient’s head (eg, make sure it is pressed securely against the forehead strap and chin rest of the slit lamp). An assistant may help maintain the patient in the proper position. Keep your operating hand in contact against a bone on the patient’s face (eg, the zygomatic arch or the nasal bridge), so that if the patient moves, your hand will move in tandem.
