What should you check for during lens inspection besides defects or debris?

• A. Whether the lens is inverted
• B. The solution's color
• C. The packaging label font
• D. The expiry date

Answer: (A)

During lens inspection, the most important check besides defects or debris is that the lens is oriented correctly and not inverted. An inside-out lens won’t unfold properly on the eye and the edges can flare upward, making it uncomfortable to wear and not fit properly. To test orientation, look at the edge profile: a properly oriented lens sits in a smooth, rounded bowl shape; an inverted lens often looks like a saucer with edges that don’t sit flat. If you detect inversion, flip the lens before use.

The other options aren’t part of the immediate lens condition check. The solution’s color isn’t a direct indicator of the lens’s readiness to wear. Expiry date and packaging details matter for safety and compliance, but they’re separate from assessing the lens’s current orientation and integrity.
