Fig. 1. Insertion of a therapeutic lens through a small eyelid fissure. A. The “taco test” is performed to ensure that the lens is not inside out (the edges of the lens should curve inward when squeezed in the palm crease). B. After a drop of topical anesthetic and cleaning of the eyelid margins with alcohol or the equivalent, the lens is placed on the lower eyelid and a cellulose-tipped applicator is used to push the top of the lens under the upper eyelid and toward the superior conjunctival fornix. C. The bandage lens is pushed further into the superior fornix. D. Appearance of a well-centered bandage lens.END
