WASHINGTON — President Reagan bruised his lower left eyelid while removing a contact lens, the White House said today.
During a speech on budget reform, photographers looking through large lenses noticed puffiness and redness in the President’s eye, and the White House physician, Dr. John Hutton, issued a statement later saying:
“(Thursday), while removing the contact lens from his left eye, the President created a slight superficial (bruise) to his lower eyelid. The inside of the lid and eye are totally normal.”
