Reagan Bruises Eyelid Removing Contact Lens

President Reagan bruised his lower left eyelid while removing a contact lens, the White House said Friday.

Photographers noticed puffiness and redness in the eye, and White House physician Dr. John Hutton later issued a statement saying: “Yesterday, while removing the contact lens from his left eye, the President created a slight superficial contusion to his lower eyelid. The inside of the lid and eye are totally normal.”
