During an eye injury on site, how should you handle contact lenses if they are present?

Leave contact lenses in place and resume work.

Rinse the eye with clean water, but do not remove lenses.

Remove contact lenses if present.

When an eye injury occurs, remove contact lenses if you can do so safely. The lens can trap debris or chemicals and may press against the injured surface, making it harder to inspect the eye and treat the injury properly. Taking the lens out allows you to flush the eye and assess the damage more accurately, reducing the risk of further irritation or corneal damage. After removal, continue to irrigate the eye with clean water or saline if needed and seek prompt medical evaluation. Avoid rubbing the eye, and if the lens cannot be removed easily or pain or vision problems persist, get medical help right away.

Immediately rub the eye to remove particles.
